Killdeer Public School will be offering in-town busing starting on January 12th. This will create a slight gap in busing services as West River Transit is no longer available. Bus stop locations and schedules will be posted on the Killdeer School website once classes resume. An invitation to our transportation app, Stopfinder, will be emailed out at this time as well.
