Marana Bus Cuts Shake Altar Valley Families | Tucson News

Marana Unified School District slashed over 20 bus stops for Altar Valley students heading to Marana High, leaving only two designated pickup points — San Joaquin & Ursa, and Sandario & Snyder Hill Road — sparking safety concerns and logistical headaches for families. Citing budget shortfalls, rising enrollment, and transportation strain, the district urges parents to consider driving or enrolling at Flowing Wells High, which still offers bus service in the area. With no guardrails or shelters at the new stops and buses often full before all students board, many parents are anxious — but the district says they’re open to discussing individual cases and working with families to make the transition smoother.
