Latest NEWS
UPDATE: 7:30 a.m., Sept. 20, 2023
The latest information we have reported from our schools indicates that 75% of our buses are running their routes this morning. We are working with our bus drivers and the coaches who can drive buses to provide transportation for the estimated 2,340 students who are impacted. We appreciate the patience and support of our parents this morning.
Tonight the Ascension Parish School Board's Transportation Committee voted to authorize staff to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to install air conditioning on its route buses and bring back a detailed cost plan for both the implementation and maintenance of this action.
