Over the past several months, we have worked diligently to increase staffing in an effort to eliminate route rotation cancellations. While we’ve made significant progress, some routes will need to continue on the rolling cancellation schedule for the remainder of the school year.
While we are pleased to have been able to restore a number of routes, we know our work will not be finished until all of our bus routes are off of the rolling cancellation schedule. We are continuing to work on recruiting, training, and retention solutions to get us there.
We will communicate continued progress on our canceled routes along with an updated schedule in early October so families can plan accordingly.
Below is the rolling cancellation schedule for DCSD bus routes for the second half of the 2025-2026 school year. As a reminder, this rolling cancellation schedule is for general education bus routes only. Special Education students who have transportation as a related service will not experience any route cancellations.
We encourage families to mark these dates on their calendar. Families should be sure to check their student’s route numbers for both a.m and p.m.
If you indicated during the Express Check-In process that you will be utilizing DCSD Transportation, please check the SMART tag™ Parent App to obtain your child's specific bus route and stop information. During the school year, families will also receive SMART tag™ notifications of all upcoming rolling bus cancellations two weeks in advance of the cancellation. Also please continue to check the SMART tag™ Parent App for updated route information.
Thank you for your understanding and partnership as we continuously work to improve our transportation service to our students and families.
