Arkadelphia Public School District is working with local officials to assess the transportation situation for Monday’s school day. Below are the current changes to bus routes for Monday. School officials will be talking with local law officials this afternoon, and we will pass on more updates as they come. Thank you for being so patient as we get this information to you.
**Parents–if our buses cannot get to your bus stop or you are unable to get your child to school due to the effects of the storms, please call your child’s school once the school office is open for an excused absence.
As of Sunday, April 6th, the following routes will be affected on Monday, April 7:
Route 14 (Manchester/Dalark) cannot run at all.
Route 1 (Joan) will pick up normal times, but may arrive a few minutes late for school because they will have to come into town through Donaldson.
Route 17 (Open Banks) will be able to run the in-town portion of the route, but will not be able to go down past the church on 3rd Street or Open Banks.
Route 13 (Okolona) will have to come into town via I-30 because the Hwy. 51/53 junction is washed out. The bus will not be able to pick-up students on Bateman Road or Shilo Road because the bridge on Bateman Road is washed out.
