The Grain Valley
School District Transportation department has earned the 2015 Fleet Excellence
Award from the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
Grain Valley received
a 95.7% percent first pass rate by the highway patrol during the February 2015
school bus inspection. The Fleet of Excellence Award means that the
Grain Valley School District bus fleet had a 90 percent or better rate with no
“out of service” vehicles. Grain Valley has a fleet of 47 school buses owned
and serviced by the District’s Transportation department.
“We are pleased to
have the endorsement of the Missouri Highway Patrol that our buses are safe and
well-maintained,” said Dr. Roy Moss, superintendent. “The Fleet Excellence
Award brings attention to our transportation department for their hard work and
attention to detail.”
The district’s bus
fleet will soon have a new place to be serviced and stored. Construction
continues on a new facility for the transportation department on the northeast
corner of Eagles Parkway and Sni-A-Bar Boulevard, three-quarters of a mile west
of Grain Valley High School. The district expects to occupy the facility in
June 2015. The overall design allows for future expansion as the student
population within the district grows.
