26-27 Bus route changes summarized here!!!
Due to state budget cuts and increased fuel costs, one bus route has been absorbed. No route will be longer than 1 hour!!!
For impacted stop times, drivers will be calling parents between now and Monday with updated pickup and drop off times. Below is a SUMMARY of the changes (for space limitations, every road and stop is not listed)
John Turner--no changes
David Williams route---very few changes, but will add pickups for all students on 160. This route will be ran by David Clarkson until David is back from sick leave.
Mr. Johnson (K/KK, MM, 101) is now combined with parts of Mr. Grigg's route. Mr. Johnson and Mr. Grigg will alternate driving this route. It will begin at Glenwood school, back through West Plains, down KK, MM, 160 to 101 to school.
Kelly Crabtree and Jason Marsh's routes have significant changes.
Kelly's route is absorbing the 142 portion of Mr. Grigg's route (for our K-8 high school students) beginning at Moody Church of Christ, back to school, through Bakersfield down CR 585 off 101 South , state line (as needed), back to school.
Jason's route is absorbing CR 584 to EE, to Udall, up V to CR 544 thru to 540, back to V and south to school.
Drivers will call with significant changes. We appreciate your patience as we work to SAFELY get kids to and from school! Thank you in advance!

Here are a few photos to highlight some of our FFA members from the summer. Our members have been working diligently on their Supervised Agricultural Experience Projects. Our chapter officers also attended area training, a local workshop to plan for our 100th year of Ag Education at Bakersfield, and enjoyed a retreat at Silver Dollar City before heading out to look for local businesses willing to partner with us in advertising for the 6th Annual Ozark County FFA Bull Blast.
Due to previous low attendance, there will not be a Guild meeting this Friday.
Parents, we are doing away with our credit card machines. We have switched over to Paywat payment system which sits inside Lumen Touch. As parents, this gives you the ability to pay fees, lunch bills, or whatever is assigned directly in Lumens, and it automatically applies the payments.
Please watch the tutorial videos , available via the FB post or on the school website under the News section, to help you get started.
