South Ripley School Corporation is awaiting delivery of a new school bus . . . but it won’t be what you typically expect. Superintendent Rob Moorhead mentions the bus will feature school district colors and logos. “The outside of the bus is the same as a 78 passenger yellow bus. We had budgeted for two buses in 2021 and we bought one yellow and one white. The team bus is a cross between a big bus and a mini bus. It will have the same type of seats that a mini bus has with a quantity of 40 seats,” Superintendent Moorhead noted during a recent school board meeting, according to the Versailles Republican. According to Moorhead, seats in the bus will have a SR logo embroidered, be air conditioned, and have storage areas and LED lights under the bus. “Supt. Moorhead said he hopes the school board and community will celebrate the commitment for providing nice things for the students and also providing marketing for the school to help keep and attract new students,” the newspaper writes.
