Arizona District Awarded Federal Funding
Mesa Public Schools has been awarded $750,000 from the first round of grants under the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean School Bus Program. The funds will be used to purchase 25 propane school buses that will replace existing diesel or gasoline buses. “Everything that we do in Mesa Public Schools is in the best interest of the safety of the children, our environment, and of course we’re very conscious of our citizens being taxpayers,” said Jeanne Vandemark, the district’s director of transportation.
