The Newfoundland and Labrador English School District continues to work to restore bus service for tomorrow, (Monday, February 20) for all schools impacted by last week’s service interruption. The District suspended a contractor February 11 due to safety and operational concerns. 

District staff, private contractors and government inspection agencies have been working since the service interruption to meet the expected timeline and work continues throughout this weekend. The safety of our students is our primary concern, and all the required service compliance is being checked ahead of route restoration.

The District has confirmed the resumption of service as of Monday, February 20, for the schools and routes bolded and identified in the updated advisory linked below. Schools have been in contact with impacted families to keep them updated. 

The District and its partners are committed to ensuring reliable and safe transportation for our students. While the District remains on track to meet the timeline, there are still approximately 37 routes impacting eight schools to be confirmed for Monday. 

An update will be shared later today, as teams continue to work towards full restoration of services.
