The bus didn’t show up on time for my child. How long should she wait at the stop?
Your child should arrive at the stop at least five minutes before the regular arrival time of the bus. If there is a substitute driver, the times may not be absolutely consistent with the regular times. If the bus is late ask your child to remain at the stop. Buses break down, roads are blocked, drivers become ill or have emergencies, but there will always be a bus at every stop. If the wait becomes extreme, please call your area transportation office. Connect to http://www.fcps.edu/fts/tran/contact/index.htm, and select your child’s school. That will take you to the phone numbers and email addresses of the supervisor and managers responsible for your child’s bus and driver.
