[SchoolFinance] Thank You - Follow-Up Question

[Andrea Disch]

Hi everyone,

Thank you to everyone who took the time to respond to my question. I really
appreciate your willingness to share your district's practices—it has been
very helpful.

I have one follow-up question. Are there any districts where someone other
than bus drivers are responsible for clearing snow from the buses? For
example, do your transportation staff, mechanics, custodians, or another
group handle snow removal before the buses go out?

I'd be interested to hear how that works in your district if that's your
practice.

Thanks again, and enjoy the rest of your summer!

Andrea
