School buses transporting students in Biloxi Public Schools may be running a bit late through the end of the week because of heavier traffic from Cruisin' the Coast and ongoing road work.

“We haven't seen the Cruisin' impact as much this week," said Transportation Director Sam Bailey, "but this morning, with the nice weather, we're seeing more and more Cruisers in Biloxi, which is having an impact on our travel time.”

The Biloxi public schools system operates as many as 42 buses to transport as many as 2,300 students on 126 routes each school day.

Biloxi High School yearbook sales will begin Oct. 16, with either online or in-school purchases available.

Base price is $60 until Oct. 31, increasing to $65 Nov. 1 through Dec. 4. The base price includes one line of name embossing.

Online purchases -- which can be made at www.myyear.com -- can be made using a debit or credit card, and allow purchasers to add additional lines of name embossing, icons for activities, extra autograph pages, or add a Yearzine with color photos.

Those purchasing yearbooks at school can do so during first period on Oct. 16. With this option you must bring cash, check or money order payable to Biloxi High.

You may add a plastic cover for either option; however, other options are available for online purchases only.
