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.
