Dear NHSD families, students and staff,

As announced last night, the union that represents NHSD bus drivers rejected a contract offer from ABC Transit, the district’s transportation provider, and authorized a strike beginning at midnight tonight.

We have since received word that negotiations are ongoing.

While we are planning for transportation to be unavailable to students beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, Nov. 3, we are hopeful an agreement will be reached later today.

Should this afternoon’s negotiations fail and a strike occur, our schools will remain open for in-person instruction.

We cannot release any additional information at this time so as to not interfere with the negotiations. ABC Transit is the district’s contracted transportation provider and its bus drivers are not employees of NHSD.

As always, we thank you for your continued patience and understanding. We will keep you updated as information pertaining to the strike is communicated to us.

North Hills School District Administration
