Transportation Phone Lines Down
The phone lines for the ACPS Department of Pupil Transportation are down due to a damaged cable that serves the area. Due to the nature of the outage, the repair is expected to take at least 24 hours. Until the phone lines are working, please direct all transportation-related questions or concerns to James Poindexter at james.poindexter@acps.k12.va.us, Deboris Munn at deboris.munn@acps.k12.va.us, Connie Olaya at constanza.olaya@acps.k12.va.us or Stephanie Cloud at stephanie.cloud@acps.k12.va.us .
