Submitted by Popa on Mon, 2008-07-07 08:18.I want to congratulate our Transportation Director Jack Friesner and Mechanics Bill Roosa and Tony Shaheen. During the bus inspection held on June 12th, one hundred percent of our buses were approved and stickered by the Ohio Department of Transportation as safe for transporting students. Each year our buses are inspected for safety, and our staff has had 100% successful passage for the past several years. This is a huge effort and a wonderful success again this year. read more »
