Marshall County Schools Board of Education President John Miller and Marshall County Schools Transportation Director Jody Korn were joined by the Marshall County Schools Safety Team at the district headquarters to sign the proclamation declaring February as National Association for Pupil Transportation "Love the Bus" in the County.
It is a time to show gratitude toward the dedicated professionals who ensure the safety of students on their journey to and from school in Marshall County. This initiative is a meaningful way to recognize the diverse group of individuals employed at Marshall County Schools who make the yellow school bus experience possible for students. In addition to promoting safety, "Love the Bus" also emphasizes the positive impact that school transportation has on education. By recognizing and appreciating the efforts of these professionals, the bus personnel can inspire more people to consider careers in school transportation and help ensure that students continue to receive safe and reliable transportation services for years to come.
Marshall County Schools has 65 routes that run daily that cover the largest county in total area in the Northern Panhandle. This mean that all of the schools district buses travel approximately 3,700 miles combined daily.
