					<description><![CDATA[Here are a few options for rewriting that message for the Bruce-Grey Catholic District School Board, keeping the same core message about the BusPlanner Parent Portal being down and how you'll communicate delays/cancellations today.

Option 1: Direct and Informative
The BusPlanner Parent Portal is currently experiencing an outage this morning, which means families won't be able to check the site for school bus delays or cancellations, and automated notifications will not be sent.

For today, please check our social media channels regularly, as we will be posting all school bus cancellations and delays here as soon as we receive the information.

Thank you for your understanding as we navigate this temporary issue.

Option 2: Focus on the Temporary Communication Plan
We want to let our families know that the system that powers the BusPlanner Parent Portal for tracking school bus delays and cancellations is currently unavailable. This affects both the website monitoring and the subscriber notification service.]]></description>
