BOE Meeting, May 11, 2026-7:00 P.M.
Dear Centre Families,
This afternoon, just after dismissal, our blue transit van was waiting to turn into a driveway from Highway 77 when it was rear-ended.
All students and the driver were medically cleared at the scene. All parents of students on the bus were contacted and notified of the incident as soon as possible. Students were released to their parents at that time. Centre staff will continue to support those involved in the coming days as needed.
The incident remains under investigation. USD 397 will continue to process the incident to review and evaluate our response. We are grateful and appreciative of the many volunteer fire and EMS who responded to the incident and assisted. We are grateful to the staff who assisted in many ways during the incident.
Thanks,
Dan Ackland, Superintendent
