🚨 Transportation Update: Bus Delays This Afternoon - December 16, 2025

Due to traffic being diverted from Interstate 20/59 to Highway 11, there is heavy traffic congestion causing delays in buses arriving at and departing from Livingston Junior High School and Sumter Central High School.

As a result, students may arrive home later than usual this afternoon. We appreciate your patience and understanding as our drivers work to transport students safely.
