    Attention Families of Buena High School Students:
    The Palominas School District and the Sierra Vista School District have collaborated and developed a plan for transportation for Buena students who reside in the Palominas District for this year. Please see the letter below for more information. If you have any questions, please contact the Sierra Vista Transportation Department. Thank you for your patience as we work through this challenge.
    Dear Palominas Families,
    We hope this letter finds you well and excited for the upcoming school year. We wanted to inform you about some important updates regarding transportation for the 2024-2025 school year.
    This year, both Sierra Vista Unified School District (SVUSD) and Palominas School District have encountered challenges with transportation due to bus driver vacancies and the limited availability of those able to fill these positions. As a result, SVUSD buses will be providing transportation for Palominas students to Buena High School, a change from previous years.
    To ensure a smooth transition, we will be utilizing the routes that Palominas created last year. Please note that these routes may change based on ridership, but we will provide ample notice of any adjustments. All bus routes can be found on our website: https://www.svusd68.org/page/transportation\ We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all families for their patience and understanding as we navigate these challenges. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated, especially during the first few weeks of school as we work out the details.
    Thank you for your continued support.
    Warm regards,
    SVUSD Transportation

    Attention families of Buena High School students. Please read the letter below regarding bus routes from Palominas to Buena High School.
    Dear Parents and Guardians,
    I hope this message finds you and your family well as we prepare for the upcoming school year. I am writing to inform you of a temporary challenge we are facing regarding transportation for our Palominas District resident students attending Buena High School.
    As you know, while we are not required to do so, our district has tried to provide transportation to Buena High School for our Palominas District resident students in the past. Last year these routes were contracted through Student Transportation of America. This year, due to budget constraints, Palominas has not contracted with STA, and we are rebuilding our Transportation Department. We have been working all summer to hire and train bus drivers, but we are currently experiencing a slight shortage of bus drivers, which means we do not yet have enough drivers to run the Buena High School routes at the start of the school year.
    Please know that we are actively working on resolving this issue and are doing everything possible to train existing employees and recruit and hire additional bus drivers as quickly as possible. We are also working with the Sierra Vista School District to try to create a temporary solution until we have hired drivers for these routes. In the meantime, we understand this may cause inconvenience, and we sincerely apologize for any disruption this may cause to your family's routine.
    We will keep you updated with any new information and provide you with the transportation schedule as soon as it is confirmed. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to our transportation office at 520-366-6204 ext. 113 or email our Transportation Director, Sabrina Larimer, at larimers@psd49.net.
    Thank you for your understanding and patience as we navigate this challenge together.
