New Features for IN FOCUS

Williamson County Schools is taking steps to improve the air quality on school buses.  The district will receive nearly $250,000 from the state to purchase filters that will reduce emissions and improve the air that children breathe while on the bus.  It is part of an ongoing effort by both the state and the district to create a healthier environment for students and provide cleaner transportation.

According to the Williamson County Schools Transportation Department, more than two dozen of the school buses will receive the new filters.  "This new technology will bring these buses up to the current EPA standards that new buses would have if they were purchased today," says Transportation Director John Hancock.  "These standards are designed to reduce emissions."  Hancock says it will take at least six months before the new filters can be added to the school buses. 

Williamson County Schools is one of three Middle Tennessee school districts to apply for the grant.  Franklin Special School District and Metro Schools will also receive funds for the program.
