Buses ready to roll with route numbers
route card 1
School buses will be rolling next Wednesday for the first day of the 2016-17 school year. But instead of paying attention to the bus number just below the windows, Transportation Coordinator Brett Martin is urging parents and students to pay attention to the route number on the placard, in this case, number 46. - photo by Photo by Pat Donahue
With the Effingham County School System’s fleet of buses ready to roll for the Aug. 4 start of the school year, parents are being asked to pay close attention to the number on the side of the bus. Transportation Coordinator Brett Martin has implemented a route number system, so the actual bus number is no longer as important. What is important is the number on the white placard on the side of the bus, signifying the route number.
