Hundreds of Roanoke school children still aren’t getting to class on time because of Durham School Services staff shortages, district says.

A driver for Durham said the school district’s routes “look perfect” on paper, but they don’t account for traffic, stop lights or other realities of the road.

Pleading teachers convinced commissioners to approve designs that city staff say do not adhere to Roanoke's master plan.

City planners say the school district’s current designs do not adhere to Roanoke’s comprehensive plan.

Durham hit only one of the district's five benchmarks in time, according to data provided last week to The Rambler.

The school board rejected a proposal that would change schools' schedules to accommodate late buses.

Some residents say the name of Roanoke native William Robertson should grace the school district's new administration building.

As part of safety improvements, the district would also add counselors and establish a 24/7 safety tip line.
