School Bus Replacement

The Board of Trustees understands the importance of safety when transporting students. The Board also understands that having safe, well-maintained, efficient buses in the fleet is important for the safety of the students and driver.

There comes a time when the replacement of a bus is necessary for the safety of all involved.  Therefore, the Board of Trustees will use the Bus Depreciation Schedule, as a guide, when determining the time for bus replacements.
