Kings Local Schools is proud to join the American School Bus Council (ASBC) in recognizing our school bus drivers for their commitment to safety during Love the Bus month.
We know being a bus driver can be a very stressful job! We would like to take this opportunity to thank our Kings drivers and monitors who greet our students in the morning and send them home safely each day. They are #KingsStrong!
The Love the Bus program was launched in 2007 to raise awareness and appreciation for the hundreds of thousands of school bus drivers nationwide.
