📣 Attention COCSD Families! We hope you’re enjoying the holiday season with your loved ones! As we prepare to welcome students back to school on Monday, January 6th, we want to share some important updates regarding bus routes due to a shortage of drivers. We are creating community stops. 🚌 🚨 Key Changes to Bus Routes: ✅ All routes have been reviewed and revamped to improve efficiency by creating community stops. ✅ Please check the updated routes and schedules on the District website: 👉 COCSD Transportation Info. 1️⃣ Select your student’s school. 2️⃣ Find the updated bus route details. What’s New? Some stops have been removed, and timeframes have been adjusted to optimize routes. If your stop is no longer listed, please use the closest stop to your location. Reminder: The 1-Mile Radius Rule is still in effect, so families within 1 mile of the school may need to arrange alternate transportation. We know these changes may require adjustments, and we deeply appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to avoid route cancellations for the remainder of the school year. Questions? 📞 Call the Transportation Office: 928-634-9679 🚍 Interested in Driving for Us? We’re hiring! If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a driver, check out the job details and apply here: 👉 Join Our Team. Thank you for your support in helping us keep students safe and on schedule. We can’t wait to see everyone back next week! Best Regards, Daniel Maldonado, Transportation Director (928) 634-9679
