The Regional Office of Education Number 13 Superintendent Keri Garrett announced that today is School Bus Appreciation Day.  There are over 29,000 licensed school bus drivers in the state and each day over 1.1 million students are transported to and from school by buses.  She says the job carries great responsibility as parents entrust these drivers with the children’s safety in all kinds of traffic and weather.  Garrett encourages students to show their support and appreciation for their bus drivers.
