Novi Times

Walled Lake Consolidated Schools recently issued the following announcement.

Despite an increase in applications and new hires entering the Dean Transportation training program, we’ve been informed that our recent bus route cancellations will remain with us into the new year as new staff members are hired and trained. While we deeply regret the imposition this creates for our families, we acknowledge these cancellations were necessary to safely provide transportation services to as many of our WLCSD families as possible. 

Out of fairness to the families already impacted by previous weeks’ cancellations, we will be cancelling different routes each week throughout the District to help share the burden this unfortunate situation creates. 

Starting in the week we return from Winter Break, January 3-7, the following buses/routes will be cancelled:

• Bus 128 - Geisler MS, Guest El
• Bus 133 - WL Western, Sarah Banks MS, Wixom El
• Bus 136 - WL Western, Geisler MS, Loon Lake El
• Bus 140 - St. William Shuttle, Clifford Smart MS, Keith El
• Bus 146 - WL Northern, Clifford Smart MS, Dublin El
• Bus 157 - WL Northern, Clifford Smart MS, Commerce El
• Bus 172 - WL Western, Walnut Creek MS, Meadowbrook El

Please note, ALL students who have specialized transportation plans that are contained in an IEP will NOT see a disruption in service.

For those families impacted by these temporary cancellations who need childcare assistance, please contact our fee-based Prime Time Care office at 248-956-5110 for more information on availability.
