Watch out, motorists! The Hillsborough County school district says school buses will be “out in full force” on Monday, Aug. 19, even though classes actually start Tuesday, Aug. 20.

Bus drivers will run their bus routes at the scheduled times in the morning and afternoon the day before students return so they know where to stop and how long the routes take. They’ll follow real-time conditions at every stop by activating the stop arm, flashing lights, and opening the door to replicate loading.
