The first day of school is Aug. 25.
With the first day of school quickly approaching, Hillsborough County has released bus schedules for students.
Hoping to head off last year's confusion when parents had to wait on scheduling information to arrive by mail, this year the county is offering bus route information online.
As well, the district has extra people working the transportation hotline and individual schools are mailing out the bus schedules which parents should receive this week.
