Not Their First Rodeo

Posted on 05/30/2018

The men and women who ensure our students arrive safely at their destinations every day are quite a crew. Coordinator of Transportation for Akron Public Schools Bill Andexler presented some of his team to the board May 29, 2018, following the annual Bus Rodeo competition.

Akron's drivers and its team took three of the five places and -- for the second year in a row -- and had the rookie of the year driver in Andrew Doyne.

​Kevin Hahn, an on-board instructor (he trains new drivers), also designed what was the award-winning slogan at the rodeo. You can see his work on the back of one of the drivers' safety vests.
