Our Superintendent, Mr. David Halloran, recently spoke at Assemblyman Robert Smullen’s event in Albany, advocating for the flexibility to opt out of zero-emission bus mandates under Assembly Bill A.2005. Mr. Halloran passionately supports our rural district's needs in facing the challenges of this transition.
We stand united in seeking practical solutions for our school transportation. Thank you, Mr. Halloran, for ensuring our voices are heard!
