Holladay Elementary School is on a soft lockdown as a precaution due to a community incident.
Bus 20 and 55 will be on their normal schedule tomorrow, Tuesday, August 12, 2025. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Camden Buses 20 and 55 will not run on Monday, August 11, due to a driver shortage. For questions, contact the Board Office after 6:30 AM on Monday. We apologize for any inconvenience and are actively looking for qualified, licensed drivers.
Good afternoon! As we get ready for the first day of school tomorrow, Wednesday, August 6, here's a quick update on our bus schedule: all morning routes should operate smoothly and on time. In the afternoon, however, Camden Buses 5 and 12 will be about 30 minutes later than usual. Also, Camden Bus 2, the second load, will arrive 30 minutes earlier. We're still dealing with a driver shortage but are actively working to hire a new driver soon. Thank you for your patience and support!
