Attention LEMS Parents & LCCHS who live in the LEMS district:
The Railroad will be working on the tracks next to Letcher Elementary & Middle School the week of Tuesday, September 5 through Friday, September 8th. The road will be closed from 7:00 am – 5:00pm which is going to greatly affect school traffic. We are planning to reroute some of our buses to accommodate.
Bus #206 -Josh Webb- will run his normal route 10 minutes early and should be able to cross the tracks prior to closure. He will not re-route like previously planned.
Bus #818 – Bill Hatton – will complete his route on a normal time and schedule but will need to reroute around Premium to LEMS
Bus #2422 – Madge Sturgill – will begin at the mouth of Spring Branch and will travel up Hwy 7, Garner Mtn, (any student who lives between the Letcher Fire Dept and the tracks will need to meet at the mouth of Spring Branch). She will travel to LCC and then reroute thru Premium to LEMS
# 315Heather McElroy & #1422 Diane Sparkman will do normal pick up and drop off. To accommodate the tracks they will meet at the mouth of Southeast Road. Diane will take all High school to LCC and Heather will transport all Elementary to LEMS.
#921 - Rebecca Fields- Begin at Red Star curve and will travel to Crases Branch, along Hwy 7 to LEMS.
If students live in this area and normally ride #2422 – Madge Sturgill - they will need to ride 921 on these days.
#921 will shuttle from LEMS to LCC in the mornings
#720 Jordan Maggard bus route is not affected
#6210 Nadean Hayes bus route is not affected in the morning, the afternoon will be later
Afternoon buses may be 1 to 1- 1/2 hours late coming home.
Due to the railroad track closure on HWY 7 at Letcher school beginning tomorrow, Sept 5, ...Josh Webb -Bus#206 will run 10 minutes early in the morning. His run is from Dean JCT-HWY 7 N-Indian Creek-Bever Dam-Rt 1410- HWY7&931 JCT-All HWY 7 N- Letcher. This should allow him to cross the tracks before the closure and keep him from rerouting as originally planned.
