TAMPA - Hillsborough County parents can call a school transportation hot line from 4 a.m. to 9 p.m. today to learn the location of their child's bus stop before the school year begins Monday.

Because of a power outage and changes in busing schedules, thousands of families had not received written notices of their bus stops earlier this week.

In 2007-08, the school district began reorganizing its transportation department to cut down on late buses and a chronic need for drivers.

The families affected this year include those living in West Tampa, northwest Hillsborough, and the area around Chamberlain and Hillsborough High schools.

Besides being in operation today, the hot line will be operating from 4 a.m to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Today, parents can also call their schools, which received lists of the bus stops.

The school district hot line number is (813) 982-5500.
