(KLZA)-- The Falls City School Board received the annual Transportation Directors report during their Monday evening meeting.
With school buildings being closed in March because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the eight rural bus routes covered more than 20-thousand miles less this year than in 2018-19 at 72,189 miles.
On average 305 students are transported to and from school on a daily basis.
Students were transported to 277 school activities this past school year compared to 349 the previous year. Again the decrease is attributed to COVID-19. Activity buses traveled 32,050 miles. 62 activity trips were cancelled this spring.
This was the final annual report to be presented by Transportation Director Rob Baker who is retiring after 32 years. He was presented an appreciation plaque from Superintendent Tim Heckenlively.
