Transportation Notice – Service Suspension
Dear Colstrip Families,
Due to circumstances beyond our control, Colstrip Public Schools will be suspending all morning and afternoon bus routes effective October 1st, 2025. Until we are able to hire additional drivers, we will not be able to provide transportation.
This means that parents and guardians will be responsible for getting their children to and from school until further notice. Absences related to lack of transportation will not be considered exempt.
We understand this creates a significant hardship for many families and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, like many districts across Montana and the nation, we are experiencing a severe driver shortage.
We remain committed to restoring service as quickly as possible and will notify families immediately when new drivers are hired and routes can resume.
If your student has been a part of the one-route system, please call Britney Allen at Central Office to inquire about an Individual transportation contract.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through this transportation crisis.
Sincerely,
Colstrip Public Schools
