New Castle Area School District operates a bus
fleet of more than 30 school buses and vans that transport over 3,800 students
to New Castle Area Schools and private schools each day. The school district
contracts transportation for public, non-public, and exceptional students to
Laidlaw Educational Services.
During the summer months the buses are cleaned and
sanitized. They are meticulously inspected by expert mechanics in order
to prepare them for a laborious State Police summer inspection before they
begin their fall routes. Bus routes are developed in the early summer and
finalized in early August, using a bus routing software system. Student
bus schedules are sent to the parents by mid-August.
All bus drivers have current clearances from the
Pennsylvania State Police as well as the PA Department of Child Welfare.
The district director of transportation is Mr.
Terence P. Meehan. Mr. Meehan can be
reached at the Administration Building by contacting his office at (724)
656-4759 during the hours of 8:00 am-4:00pm.
