Banks School District buses are on road restriction routes for the third day in a row Friday due to weather conditions.
The following routes are on snow routes: 101 Squirrel, 102 Tree, 103 Horse with no service past Pihl and Green Mountain roads, 106 Turtle and 112 Elephant.
When road conditions deteriorate, the district shifts affected bus routes to modified pickup points at lower elevations. Over 80 percent of Banks students live below 200 feet in elevation, but several routes serve families on higher, more remote roads that become hazardous in snow and ice.
The district says families will not face academic penalties for weather-related absences. The full bus route modification plan for inclement weather is available as a document from the district.
