Sumter Co. schools to curb bus service

Sumter County School buses ferrying students to classes this fall will be making fewer stops, primarily to save on gas according to the Americus Times-Recorder.

The decision, by the Sumter County Board of Education, will affect students residing no more than one and a half miles from school. State law does not subsidize fuel costs up to that distance.

The familiar yellow buses will continue on the same routes, but will not stop at locations listed here.
