Dear SCCSD Learning Community,

This afternoon, while rerouting buses due to a stalled train on the tracks in downtown Morrilton, one of our buses attempted to turn onto South Cherokee Street to go under the railroad underpass. Unfortunately, the bus could not clear the underpass and sustained damage.

We want to reassure everyone that no students were injured. Our transportation team responded immediately, and all students were safely transferred and taken home.

We are grateful for the quick actions of our driver, transportation staff, and school personnel who ensured the safety and well-being of every student on board. Safety remains our top priority, and we will review this incident fully to prevent future occurrences.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support of the South Conway County School District.

Dear SCCSD learning community, A train is now stalled on the railroad tracks in downtown Morrilton. This will make our buses be later than normal. If you are having to go to multiple campus to pick up your children, there are 3 Options Cedar St., Crestliner St., or the bypass on highway 9. We do not know how long the train will be stalled across the railroad tracks in downtown Morrilton. Please plan accordingly
