PASD Busing Walking Students Friday Morning; School to Start On Time

Phoenixville Area School District will again on Friday provide buses to secondary students who typically walk.

Temperatures will be brutally cold early Friday morning, the National Weather Service said; with the wind chill it will feel like -20. Several other Chester County school districts, including Great Valley and West Chester, made the decision to have delayed openings Friday. But Phoenixville will not be following suit.

“Single-digit temperatures are predicted for most of the morning,” the district said. “With no relief in temperatures expected during the morning, we will start school at the normal time.”

Everyone is reminded to dress warmly, the district said.

The buses are Student Transportation of America, and have the letters “STA” on the side, the district said.

The buses will make the following stops, the district said:

Winter Stop No. 1 (STA bus #300)

• 6:55 a.m. Chester Avenue at West Bridge Street
• 7:02 a.m. Bridge Street at Wheatland Street

Winter Stop No. 2 (STA Bus #308)

• 6:57 a.m. Second Avenue at Buchanan Street and Nutt Road
• 7:02 a.m. Church Street at Gay Street
