Fayette schools, Lexington officials finalizing snow bus routes to cut down on snow days
Fayette County Public Schools and Lexington city officials are moving forward with plans to address alternative bus stops for winter and other extreme weather events. Interim FCPS Superintendent Bill Bradford said alternative bus routes have been a top priority since he stepped into the top leadership position in June. Bus route issues were part of what caused Lexington students to miss traditional in-person class time for a full two weeks during a significant winter storm earlier this year.

City and school officials have been meeting for months. The school system does not finalize bus routes until late August or September, when school starts. That’s delayed hammering out the alternative snow bus routes. “We’ve had these routes in the past and they have worked well,” said Mayor Linda
