**Important Transportation Communication Change for 2023-2024**
Families will no longer receive phone calls for bus changes or outages. There is a new BCPS transportation App coming later this year, but until that is ready, BCPS will use the following channels to communicate regarding bus transportation: email, text, BCPS App notification, BCPS website, and the BCPS Transportation Facebook Page.
