The union representing school bus drivers in Warwick says students will get picked up and dropped off on Friday.
Parents were warned by the school district earlier this week that a failure to reach a new contract between transportation provider First Student and ATU Local 618 had created the possibility of a work stoppage.
However, a strike could be looming as union members have voted to authorize the action.
City officials are careful to point out that the negotiations are between the bus company and its drivers and NOT the city itself.
