CR Weekly News Update
This week some Board members, Central office staff and the Superintendent had the opportunity to visit our new transportation provider, Durham School Services, at their Newtown depot. We toured the facility, spoke with drivers and managers, physically boarded busses, and observed the work being done to ready busses for the 2022-23 school year. As a reminder, Durham has committed to the following:
Transportation and bus information will be communicated through the HAC and available on August 15.
Council Rock is working with Durham to make sure all bus routes are fully staffed.
Buses continue to arrive at the Wrightstown and Newtown depots.
Safety features on our buses this year include front- and rear-facing cameras inside the bus, updated GPS, and two-way radios.
56 of our larger buses and some smaller vehicles are propane-fueled. For the 2023-24 school year, all buses will be propane-fueled.
Durham is contracted to do “dry runs” for all routes.
Durham is having a meeting the week of August 15 with all drivers. The Superintendent, some cabinet members, and some administrators will welcome Durham and deliver our “Students First. Always.” message.
Deep cleaning of buses is underway and will include outside vendor assistance as needed. To date, more than 50 Durham busses on site have been professionally cleaned.

PRE-K COUNTS - BUCKS COUNTY
Free Pre-Kindergarten Program Driving Better Educational Beginnings
Early education better prepares children to succeed in kindergarten and beyond. Established by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE), the purpose of Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts is to help ensure quality pre-kindergarten opportunities are available to children (ages three to five) across the commonwealth. This program is free to eligible families.
The Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts program:
- Is based on the quality components adopted for pre-kindergarten by the State Board of Education
- Provides families with a choice of quality pre-kindergarten options in a school, child care center, Head Start, or nursery school
- Increases access to quality pre-kindergarten with a priority in at-risk communities
- Builds on the work of the Pre-K Counts Public-Private Partnership for Educational Success, a three-year project funded by leading Pennsylvania foundations and supported by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
