"Please note that bus delays are common at the beginning of the school year. Many students are returning to schools after participating in distance learning last year, and we are sanitizing buses more frequently to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Any delays longer than 30 minutes are posted to polkschoolsfl.com/busdelays. Parents may also call 863-534-7300 throughout the school year to reach a dispatcher."
