Despite traffic and bus issues, Bethel School District officials say they had a great first day.  With regards to transportation, Superintendent Dr Christine Carver says the first few weeks are always difficult.  There continues to be an increase in the number of parents driving kids to school so there are ongoing traffic issues that are causing significant delays for buses.  Parents are urged to let their kids to ride the bus as the district doesn't have the funding this year to continue with police to direct traffic.
