Walled Lake Consolidated Schools issued the following announcement on Jan 19.
Our partners at Dean Transportation are hard at work recruiting, hiring, and training new drivers for our District. Despite the progress made across all facets of the hiring process, we’ve been informed that our recent bus route cancellations will remain with us as new staff members are hired and trained. While we deeply regret the imposition this creates for our families, we acknowledge these cancellations are 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 the week of January 24-28, the following buses/routes will be cancelled:
- BUS 135 - WL Western HS, Geisler MS, Hickory Woods El
- BUS 142 - WL Northern HS, Clifford Smart MS, Commerce El
- BUS 150 - WL Northern HS, Clifford Smart MS, Dublin El
- BUS 151 - WL Central HS, Walnut Creek MS, Pleasant Lake El
- BUS 152 - WL Central HS, Walnut Creek MS, Oakley Park El
- BUS 153 - WL Central HS, Walnut Creek MS, Meadowbrook El
- BUS 162 - WL Western HS, Sarah Banks MS, Walled Lake El
- BUS 173 - WL Western HS, Sarah Banks MS, Glengary El
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.
The District and Dean Transportation are working diligently to address our transportation needs as quickly and as safely as possible. If you or anyone in your family would be interested in joining our transportation team, please visit the Dean Transportation careers webpage.
