Transportation department adds small bus for special education students

A new small bus and driver are set to join the Braintree Public Schools fleet, a decision made during the recent School Committee meeting on March 10, 2025. The addition aims to enhance transportation services for special education and preschool students, ensuring timely access to school.

The transportation department manager emphasized the necessity of this addition, highlighting the legal obligation to transport these vulnerable student populations. The small bus is expected to be operational by the end of this year, with full service anticipated for the next school year.

This move reflects the district's commitment to maintaining a level service standard while addressing the specific needs of its students. The School Committee's decision underscores the importance of reliable transportation in fostering an inclusive educational environment.
