Dear Families,
Upshur County Schools sincerely apologizes for the lack of buses running today, November 9, 2023. We have a dedicated group of drivers that at times need to be off for various appointments requiring substitutes to fill their runs. Unfortunately, we do not have enough currently to cover when our drivers need to be away from their positions. Upshur County is not unique to this, across the state runs are cancelled daily in many counties. We are always looking for folks willing to complete the required training to provide for situations like today.
We once again apologize and thank you for your support as we move forward in providing a quality education for all of our students.
Christy Miller, Superintendent
