Special Ed Transportation Needs Prompt Amendment to N.J.-S.P. Bus Replacement Plan

The North Judson-San Pierre School Corporation is adjusting its bus replacement plan to accommodate the need for special ed transportation. Rather than getting three new full-size buses as originally planned, the school board agreed Tuesday to let the corporation buy one full-size bus and two multipurpose vehicles, instead.

Superintendent Dr. Annette Zupin explained the white multipurpose vehicles are designed for extracurricular activities and special education. “Because of the special ed transportation, the number of trips we are making, we need that,” she said. School officials noted that the change will save the school corporation some money this year.

In other business Tuesday, the school board appointed Linda Schumacher to the North Judson-Wayne Township Public Library Board through the end of 2022.
