Anderson 3 will operate on a regular schedule for Friday, January 24.

Our Transportation and Operations Teams have worked diligently today to survey current road conditions in the Starr, Iva, and Flat Rock areas. While primary roads are clearing up, unfortunately, many of our rural secondary roads still contain hazardous areas that are not safe for bus travel. โ๏ธ๐
Because of this, Anderson 3 will hold an eLearning Day on Thursday, January 23. ๐ปโ๏ธ
*Anderson 3 contains the largest geographical area in Anderson County. The rural makeup of our district causes challenges, as snow and ice in shaded areas are slow to melt, especially in low temperatures. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to ensure the utmost safety of our students, staff, and families.
