IP Explosion: Schools Buses Return To Hard Hit Neighborhood
February 3, 2017
For the first time since the International Paper explosion, schools buses will once again roll today in the Woodbury Circle area of Cantonment.
The buses were unable to enter the neighborhood due to concerns at first over the black liquor that covered the roadways, and then due to the ongoing cleanup effort.
“We have been working closely with members of the Unified Command team to create a way to safely restore normal school bus transportation service in the Woodbury subdivision,” an Escambia County School District Transportation Director Rob Doss said.
Parents were scheduled to receive a phone call Thursday night advising them of the change.
Since the explosion, students in the area have used a temporary bus stop at the old Winn Dixie shopping center. Buses will stop there today and Monday for any students that might miss the notification that service has returned to their neighborhood.
