Buses Are Set to Go For
Opening of School Aug. 25
Next Thursday the big
yellow school buses begin to
roll in Butts County carrying
busloads of kids for the
opening of schools August 25.
Charles Kersey, mainte
nance supervisor of the

tion department, said he
wants to inform all the
parents of children riding
buses that the buses have
been checked thoroughly and
are in safe, tiptop running
condition.
Kersey said the Georgia
State Patrol recently inspect
ed the fleet of 24 buses and
described it as being “one of
the best in the whole
system.” Two new buses
were added to the number of
buses for this year.
He added that all of the
buses have been cleaned and
washed, inside and out. and
that only minor repairs had
to be made, such as the
replacement of marker
lights.
Kersey noted that only
minor repairs is significant
considering some of the bus
routes are about 45 miles
round-trip every day.
He said the buses are kept
in good running condition by
“keeping them up all through
the year so little problems
don’t become big ones.”
Kersey said all of the same
bus drivers will be returning
this year and he commended
them for their good safety

cooperation among all trans
portation department em
ployes is responsible for
keeping the buses running
efficiently.
