Transportation and Weather Delays
School Cancellations
The Goodwin University Magnet School Central Office will determine when CTRA is closed, delayed, or remote due to inclement weather. Cancellation information can be found on our website as well as CTRA's social media pages.
Your student’s transportation will be dependent on the town that you reside in (e.g., if your home town cancels school but CTRA is open, there will be no transportation provided for your child). When all magnet schools and districts are closed, RSCO Transportation will not transport students (i.e., all bus routes are cancelled). When only Hartford Public Schools (HPS) are closed and the remaining magnet schools and/or districts are open, RSCO Transportation will not transport students (i.e., all bus routes are cancelled). When HPS is open, and some magnet schools and/or districts are closed, RSCO Transportation will only transport students to and from those magnet school and/or districts that are open.
Delayed Openings
In the event of a delayed opening, CTRA follows a 2-hour delay, and school will start at 9:30 a.m. RSCO Transportation will delay bus routes using the magnet school or district with latest delay on the bus route.
Early Dismissals
In the event of an early dismissal, CTRA adheres to RSCO Transportation's Tier 1 Bus Route at 11:00 a.m. Please note that if a bus has more than one town on its route, and at least one of the towns has an early dismissal, then all the students on that bus route will be released early.
