Congratulations to the Sumner County Schools Transportation Director Andrew Grasty and his team! They have been awarded $200,000 in federal grants to purchase 2 new school buses. SCS buys 15 new school buses every year. Currently, they have more than 225 in its fleet. According to Tennessee law, SCS can only keep a school bus on the road for a certain length of time and mileage, so on average SCS is replacing 15 school buses every year. The cost of a school bus is $100,000.
SCS drives 726 runs a day for a grand total of 7,902 miles every day. (That mileage does not include field trips or sporting events.)
Sumner County Schools is the only school district in the state to be awarded with the 2021 Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) School Bus Rebate Award. The two new buses will be eco-friendly.
