Additional Updates
Fifteen buses have been equipped with lower decibel back-up beepers and will be tested during the first months of the school year. We targeted buses that are the primary vehicles for the early bird routes. Back-up beepers are required on school buses for the safety of the passengers, drivers, and passers-by.
New signs outlining Ordinance No. 81-13 and respective fines will be installed prior to the start of the school year. Barricades have been purchased to improve the regulation of traffic on Athletic Drive.
