School day start and end times to be adjusted for 2025-26

Due to a critical shortage of bus drivers, Ballard County Schools will have to adjust its start and end times for the 2025-26 school year. Starting on Aug. 7, Ballard County Middle and Ballard Memorial High school students will begin their day 20 minutes earlier, with drop-offs at 7 a.m. and a 7:15 start of classes. It will take the drivers an hour and ten minutes to complete their second route, meaning that Ballard County Elementary and Preschool-Head Start will start 25 minutes later, with drop-off at 8:10. Their classes will start at 8:25 a.m. BCMS and BMHS will dismiss at 2:10 p.m., with buses returning to campus at 3:20. BCES then will dismiss at 3:20 p.m., with buses making a final return to campus at about 4:30.
