Dr. Tom Hopson
Transportation Supervisor

Transportation oversees the safe transport of students to and from school and on special trips. Every day, 11 buses cover 245 miles on eight regular routes, three special education routes, and two preschool routes. Seven of the eight regular routes are driven twice (first for grades 6-12, and then for grades K-5). All buses are equipped with cameras and most have seat belts. More than 20 percent of students ride the bus. All drivers participate in annual training in CPR, First Aid, and epinephrine injection. In addition, the Tennessee Highway Patrol provides annual driver safety training.

To find the route for your child, please select the orange link along the right side (or bottom for mobile users) of this page to open the route associated with the zone or school
