CGESD to get 6 new buses, Eloy 1 from VW settlement with state
by Howard Fischer | Capitol Media Services
More than four dozen Arizona school districts, including Casa Grande Elementary, are getting new school buses at no cost to taxpayers.
The tab for the 142 new buses is coming from the state’s $57 million share of a nationwide settlement with Volkswagen over the sale of its so-called “clean-diesel’’ vehicles. Gov. Doug Ducey had ultimate authority on how to divide the cash, within certain court-approved guidelines.
The Casa Grande Elementary School District will be getting six new buses from the settlement. The Eloy Elementary School District will also be getting an additional bus, as will the Mammoth-San Manuel Unified School District in eastern Pinal County.
