Riding an electric school bus this morning was kind of strange in the way that it was so familiar, but so different without the noise and smell of gas. I have a feeling kids of the future won't be getting away with so much mischief at the back of the bus! https://t.co/In0fJJiITf

The district debuted a fleet of six EV school buses, with plans to purchase more in the future.

A federal agency sent a letter to SHRA about the vacancies last year.
