More than 600 Irvine middle-schoolers who’ve been stranded in the mountains since a blizzard struck last week are being bused home Monday, according to school officials, who expect all the kids to be home by Monday night.
The students from four Irvine Unified School District schools have been in the San Bernardino Mountains for a week, split between two outdoor camps. The plan had been for them to return home on Friday but then the snowstorm hit Thursday. The district attributed the delays in getting the children home to the inclement weather and strained resources at the California Highway Patrol, which is escorting the buses driven by down the mountain.
“As of now, the CHP has told us that the snow is negligible in that area, and they're confident that we can get all of our students home today — but that's barring any unforeseen circumstances,” said district spokesperson Annie Brown.Brown said that ahead of the storm the district had considered bringing the students home early but decided to keep them at the camps for their safety after consulting with the highway patrol and first responder agencies.
