However, she noted some challenges this morning at Eden school where the students were to be collected and taken to the other sites, with the first bus expected to leave at 7:30 a.m. to cut down on the traffic time and the additional trips to be made. Beckles said several students got to the site after the designated meet up time which caused a delay in the meet up time for the first bus to move off and come back for the other students.
