Commack School District Updates Modified Bus Routes

Due to damages caused by Hurricane Sandy, Commack students continue on modified bus routes.

 

Commack school officials have announced changes to the modified bus routes being used to get students to classes as clean after Hurricane Sandy continues. 

Commack School District, together with its bus company, did a survey of the school district and its roadways on Tuesday that has lead to further modifications of the district's bus routes. The changes in transportation are being made to avoid streets that still have debris, downed trees or wires more than three weeks after the storm.
