In a significant development affecting the ChurchillCSD community, the school district has announced changes to its transportation services due to a shortage in staffing. This information is being shared with our readers before its official release to families, ensuring the community is well-informed about the upcoming alterations. 

Facing the challenge of a staffing shortfall, the school district is taking proactive measures to address the situation. To mitigate the impact on students and families, ChurchillCSD is exploring potential hiring incentives and recruitment efforts to attract more bus driver applications. However, until additional drivers can be hired and trained, the district will implement a rolling blackout schedule for regular routes starting January 8. 

The blackout schedule involves organizing routes into geographic regions, with each region experiencing a temporary cessation of service for a week. It is an unprecedented decision made in response to the current staffing challenges faced by the transportation department. 

Rolling Blackout Schedule for January and February: 

YELLOW ZONE BUS ROUTES: 

Bus #41 

Bus #1 

Bus #16 

Bus #24 

BLACKOUT DATES: 

January 8-13 

February 5-9 

RED ZONE BUS ROUTES: 

Bus #8 

Bus #36 

Bus #38 

BLACKOUT DATES: 

January 15-19 

February 12-16 

BLUE ZONE BUS ROUTES: 

Bus #10 

Bus #25 

Bus #37 

Bus #60 

BLACKOUT DATES: 

January 22-26 

February 19-23 

GREEN ZONE BUS ROUTES: 

Bus #33 

Bus #47 

Bus #48 

BLACKOUT DATES: 

January 29-February 2 

February 26-March 1 

The blackout schedule is expected to remain in effect for the 2023-2024 school year. Special education routes and routes to Hazen (#19) and Middlegate (#56) will continue to run as usual and will not be affected by the rolling blackouts. 

ChurchillCSD recognizes the difficulty of this decision and is actively working to restore all bus routes to normal operations. Families will receive detailed information outlining the situation and the steps to address it. 

The Fallon Post will continue to monitor and report on developments related to this issue, providing accurate and timely information to keep the community informed about any updates or changes. The potential impact on the community is recognized, and efforts are underway to address the situation promptly.

From the editor: This is a very good question and we apologize for not catching that wasn't in there. We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITORComment author: Debra J RidenourComment text: So sorry for your loss.
