Franklin City Schools roll out new bus line
FRANKLIN–When Giovani Shepherd, 10, saw the 27 new buses parked in front of his Franklin Elementary School, he could only remark “where the rest at?”
The 27 new Franklin school buses each hold a capacity of 17 students, and are an integral part of the new Franklin City Public Schools’ Ridin’ the Short Bus: Tempering Dreams and Lowering Expectations initiative. The buses will be used for the undereducated, said Suarez Purdee, supervisor of Pupil Support Services.
