Summer time means all buildings undergo major cleaning to ensure everything is in pristine shape for the opening day of school. And, that includes getting our bus fleet and Transportation Center ready as well!
Please join us and thank Andres Massari, Chris Thorpe, Tara Grogan, Kerri Mohrmann, Nate Vogt and Kyle Redner for all they are doing to make sure our fleet and Transportation Center is equally prepared for opening day!
