Good evening Junction City School District.  The ice did not melt as much as we had hoped.  On Tuesday morning, we will not run buses on East/West Stateline, Caledonia/South Caledonia, Hall Pratt Loop, Tram Road, and anything behind Jolley’s Grocery. Fred’s NECC route will pick up at DG, 2nd Street, and Gray Street in Louisiana.  The only change for Tuesday morning is Bubba Cater will run his route. Please contact the school if we can help you at 870-315-2670 by text.  We are hoping to run all routes Tuesday afternoon.

Good afternoon. Due to continued impassable roads, the buses that were able to pick up students this morning will drop the students off in the same places. We will send out a message later this evening about the morning routes.
