About Us
Our Transportation team supports student success by providing access to daily school transportation, athletics, and activities. Our drivers are the "first impression's team" and by collaborating with stakeholders, keeping open lines of communication, and providing a positive environment for students, we support two-way meaningful engagement with our students and families.
Safety and Maintenance
Our goal is to safely transport students to and from school on schedule. Many students begin and end their school day with a bus ride, so safety is important as we drive over 11,000 miles each day. We increase organizational effectiveness by properly maintaining safe school buses and our buses meet or exceed state regulations. Transportation employs a premier workforce of school bus drivers, mechanics and operations staff. All bus drivers are first-aid/CPR certified and complete all state and federal requirements and training programs.
