LANCASTER COUNTY, S.C. — Several Lancaster County families were given the wrong information about their child's bus routes, school officials said.
The district's transportation office is working to correct the errors before kids are put on the wrong bus. An updated version of the bus route schedule is on the district's website. Monday is the first day of school for the Lancaster County School District.
District leaders caught the error over the weekend and posted on the LCSD website.
"The safety of your children is our top priority, and I deeply regret that the communication surrounding their transportation has not met the standards you deserve and expect from us," Superintendent Raashad Fitzpatrick said. "The information that was shared with you was believed to be accurate at the time of distribution. However, it has become clear that there were significant errors or omissions in the data, which have caused undue stress and concern for many families."
