Highlights:
Busing changes are occurring because of the redesign of the elementary school structures to neighborhood schools, so all buses no longer go to all schools.
The Jerome School District has and will continue to provide busing in excess of our legal requirements as a service to our students and the community.
It will shorten the length of time on the buses for many students
This plan should help traffic flow concerns particularly at Summit, JMS, and JHS
Students, provided that we have room, can be picked up and dropped off at existing stops to help us increase safety and reduce longer walks. Buses will not deviate from their routes and designated pickup /dropoff locations.
All buses stop at Jerome High school and Jerome Middle School but buses now only run in town primarily to their zoned elementary schools.
Please see the attached map for a visual breakdown of pickup and drop offs.
Teacher's children can get on a bus at school to be transported to other schools provided the existing route goes there.
Safety Busing:
We also have safety zone stops in the following areas with pickups:
Southwest quadrant for all students
Southeast quadrant for MS students
North of 16th Ave. for all students
Between N. Davis-N. Tiger & 4th Ave. East-Main St., for elementary to Frontier
For specific pickup times please contact Northside Bus at 208-324-4426
