🚌Oh, The Places Our Buses Go — Safely!
It’s National School Bus Safety Week, and we’re celebrating the incredible team that keeps our Cardinals safe every single day!
Each day, BRPS buses carry 1,372 students across 1,023 miles — and by week’s end, that’s 5,115 miles and more than 6,800 safe rides completed! 🚦 That would be like driving to Florida every day or driving from New York City to Las Vegas, Nevada AND BACK each week!
From early mornings to afternoon drop-offs, our drivers and transportation staff make safety their top priority — and we’re so thankful for the care, smiles, and dedication they show on every route. ❤️

They watched a live oral argument about an ongoing case and had an opportunity to meet the attorneys and justices at a luncheon afterward.
