🚌✨ Summer Work Behind the Scenes! ✨🚌
While students enjoy a well-deserved summer break, our WCPS Transportation Department is hard at work preparing for the new school year!
A special shoutout to Mr. Jerry Hurd and Mr. Randy Carter, who have spent more than a decade washing and cleaning school buses. Over the years, they have cleaned hundreds of buses (annually), helping ensure that students begin each school year riding in a clean, welcoming environment. This summer, they plan to sanitize and clean over 100 regular buses, activity buses, and handicap buses.
Once the buses are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized, our mechanics and technicians begin year-end inspections and complete important maintenance to ensure every bus is safe and ready for August.
We are incredibly grateful for the dedication of our transportation team—mechanics, technicians, bus drivers, and support staff—who work year-round to keep our students safe. Thank you for everything you do to help make the upcoming school year a success; and a special thank you to Mr. Hurd and Mr. Carter!!!
