Dart said there were issues with the bus company communicating about critical issues and as a result, all students, with the exception of high schoolers, would not have school Wednesday.
The emails Wednesday said administrators expected smoother operations from M&J but that parents should reach out to the schools if they experience any bus-related issues on Thursday.
John Hipsher, the chief operating officer of M&J Bus Company, told NBC Connecticut the superintendent's email to parents about bus issues was a mischaracterization of what happened.

"We have had a wonderful working relationship with this district for over 6 years now. We need some time just to improve on the routes, get accustomed to them," Hipsher said.
