CMS Rolled Out It’s Express Bus Service What It Means For Your Kids

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg School (CMS) district started the new school year with a new bus plan. CMS is rolling out its "Express Bus Stop" service. The bussing project was created to help magnet school students who no longer have door-to-door bus service. Instead, students at magnet schools in the district will be picked up and dropped off at shuttle stops according to WSOC.

Parents were concerned with the 44 different stops magnet school buses had to make. So, CMS made a plan to come up with 11 bus stops. It's kind of like the shuttle stops you have at the airport or a big theme park parking lot.

CMS will have staff members out at these stops for the first 3 days of school. They hope this will help families transition to the bus stops easily.

CMS is rolling out this plan in an effort to help bus driver vacancies across the district WSOC TV reported.

I live in Union County. We have the same bus driver shortage issues there. The bus no longer stops at individual streets. It now dumps everyone off at one stop at the top of the street. It makes for a cluster but does cut down on time in my neighborhood. By doing this the drivers can get to their next stop quickly!

Sadly, summer break is ending soon. The kids were having a great time enjoying their break, but things are slowly ending. It is time to head back to school soon and gear up for another school year. How fun is that? I know, I know some may not want to head back but let's just enjoy this last bit of time before the time is here.

Some of these are classics the kids may not have an idea about and others you may have already taught them well. The nostalgia is here to help cheer you up before the next school year begins.
