School Transportation Director Jack Burns was congratulated for receiving an award from the NYS Department of Transportation for having greater than 95% of school bus fleet pass inspection for five consecutive years.

Burns gave all the credit to the districts four mechanics, and said that the buses fail inspection if just one of their light bulbs burn out.
