Appleton Area School District issued the following announcement on Sept. 27.
Unfortunately, we have been notified by Lamers that they are unable to provide bus transportation at the early release time for our high schools. Bussing will be available at the regular 3:40 p.m. release time for all Regular Education and Special Education bussed students.
Supervision from school staff will be available from 2:51-3:40 p.m. for students waiting for bus transportation or after-school activities.
Families with cabbed students, who use Carepool Cab Service or Kidz Kab will be following the 2:51 p.m. early release.
AASD high school students can also ride free during the school year on Valley Transit. Students must show the bus driver a valid Student ID to ride. Routing is available by calling (920) 832-5800 or visiting their website https://myvalleytransit.com/route-maps-schedules/.
This situation is out of our control, and we apologize for the inconvenience and disruption this may cause your family. We will continue to collaborate with Lamers Bus Company to problem solve.
