A local district is the first in the state to put electric school buses on the road. The Wabaunsee School district previously announced it would be the first in Kansas to start driving kids to school on these buses. “We feel fortunate that we got chosen for this grant that allows us to try these new buses out and try out the new technology,” USD Superintendent Troy Pitsch said. “And to put the kids on a nice, brand-new, safe bus, and save money at the same time.” The Environmental Protection Agency grant totalled $790,000. Pitsch said the district is excited to utilize this technology, that offers more than just the new car smell.
