Bus shuttles for middle school and high school students will start and end at the S.F. Goedde Building on W. Crawford St. The shuttles to the middle school-high school complex will leave at 6:50 a.m., 7:00 a.m., 7:15 a.m., and 7:30 a.m. The afternoon schedule has shuttle buses arriving at the Goedde Building at 2:50 p.m. and the middle school at 3:15 p.m. Vantage students being bused will leave the Goedde Building at 7:45 a.m. and return at approximately 2:45 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The big change will be for students being bused from Ohio City, as the Ohio City Methodist Church will now serve as a K-12 shuttle bus stop. Bus No. 9 will pick up students from the Ohio City Methodist Church at 6:55 a.m and drop off at 4 p.m. Another major change in this year\u2019s transportation policy is that kindergarten and elementary-age students (grades K-5) will not be permitted to be dropped off without supervision from someone who is middle school age (6th grade) or older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
