If you haven't filled out your Transportation Commitment form yet, please take a moment to do so by June 25, 2026. Like many districts, MSAD No. 75 is facing a bus driver shortage. To build safe, reliable routes with the drivers we have, we need to know exactly who will be riding the bus this fall. What you need to know: Everyone needs to reply: Please complete the form even if your child will not need the bus. Knowing who won't ride helps us optimize routes for those who do. What the form asks: You will indicate whether you need morning, afternoon, or full-time busing, your specific pickup/drop-off addresses, and which days of the week transportation is needed. Changes will be limited: Once routes are built based on this data, making changes will be difficult, especially at the start of the school year. Depending on our final driver numbers, we may need to adjust routes, consolidate stops, or change times. We deeply appreciate your partnership, flexibility, and patience as we plan ahead. Thank you for helping us prepare for a successful school year! Best, Heidi Fall is Right Around the Corner! IMPORTANT DATES!

IMPORTANT: Fall Transportation Commitment
Dear MSAD No. 75 Families, As we begin planning for the 2026–2027 school year, we are asking families to help us prepare an accurate and reliable transportation plan for the fall. Like many school districts, MSAD No. 75 is experiencing a shortage of bus drivers. At this time, we anticipate being short several drivers for the start of the school year. Because of this, it is very important that we know which students will actually need bus transportation on a regular basis. To help us build routes that are safe, efficient, and dependable, we are asking all families to complete a transportation commitment form by June 25, 2026 . Please complete this form even if your child will not need bus transportation. The form will ask families to indicate: Whether your child will need transportation. Whether your child will need morning transportation Whether your child will need afternoon transportation The address where your child will be picked up and/or dropped off Whether transportation is needed every day or only on certain days This information will allow the district to design routes based on actual student need rather than assumptions from prior years. Once routes are built, families should understand that changes may be limited, especially at the start of the school year. We are asking families to make a thoughtful commitment. If your family does not plan to use bus transportation, letting us know now may help us reduce the number of routes needed and better serve the students who rely on district transportation every day. Our goal is not to reduce transportation unnecessarily. Our goal is to create a transportation system that can operate safely and reliably with the drivers available. This may require route adjustments, consolidated stops, changes to pickup or drop-off times, or other temporary measures if we are unable to hire additional drivers before school begins. We understand that transportation is an essential service for many families, and we appreciate your patience, flexibility, and partnership as we work through this challenge. Please complete the transportation commitment form by June 25, 2026 Thank you for helping us prepare for a safe and successful start to the school year. Heidi PS: If you would love to become part of our transportation team: Apply Here!
