We are excited to announce a change in leadership within our Transportation Department. Ms. Arlene Mann, who has served our district as the Dispatcher for over 7 years and as a driver for the department since 1993, has been promoted to Supervisor of Transportation.

Fire alarms at GVMS were triggered by an issue in one of our Family and Consumer Science classrooms. As a result an evacuation was held. Due to the time of day and the number of students and employees outside of the building, our buses and district transportation will be delayed. All buildings will be affected.

There was an accident on Route 1 between Stoney Bank and Valleybrook Roads. Currently, the district transportation fleet has no access to Walnut Hill, Brandywine Circle, Lydia Hollow, or Bonnie Lane. Emergency Management Services estimate that it could be close to 10AM before the issue is resolved.

The Board of Education of the Garnet Valley School District will receive sealed bids for the purchase of:

Used 48 passenger fully tracked lift bus with air conditioning or used 30 passenger fully tracked lift bus with air conditioning.

Effective February 25, 2022, CDC does not require wearing of masks on buses or vans operated by public or private school systems, including early care and education/child care programs." As a result of this change, masks are encouraged but not required on Garnet Valley School District transportation.

October 18-22, 2021 is National School Safety Week. Garnet Valley School District will work with local authorities and PennDOT to implement Operation Safe Stop on October 20th.
