Because of this change, our planned drop-off times will also be disrupted and may take longer than normal. This will be for both the regular bus routes and the late bus routes. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the Bret Harte Transportation Office at 209-736-2067, or the Bret Harte Main Office at 209-736-8339.
