Transportation Update Impacting the East Side Feeder Area: We have spoken to Homeland Security due to an accident that occurred earlier in Pleasant Valley, involving a spill and power lines. There may be some traffic delays in students' arrival home from the East Side schools depending on their routes and bus traffic. This accident, coupled with construction already occurring in the area, may result in delays for our students and arrival home. We are releasing at our normal time at all schools. Be patient. Use caution. And stay safe.
