MEDIA RELEASE - Bus Incident

We are aware of an accident with one of our school buses just outside of Lac La Hache.  A school field trip to Gavin Lake had been returning students to 100 Mile Elementary and Horse Lake Elementary. Emergency responders are on site and leading the response on the ground. The district is currently reaching out to parents and has set a reunification site at the South Cariboo Arena for parents. Our first priority is for students and staff on the bus. Early reports from medical personnel are there are a few injuries. Most importantly all students and staff are accounted for and being checked out medically. 

We will have more to communicate once all information is known.
