| The Andrews School
District first purchased two school buses in 1930 when school consolidation began. The
transportation department has since grown to a current fleet of 72 vehicles of which 39
are buses. Currently there are 18 approved bus routes that total 197,673 miles per year,
or 1,017 miles per school day. Each year the transportation department transports students
an additional 134,000 miles to student activity events held throughout the state. In
the history of the Andrews School Transportation Department there has never been a major
accident causing injury to a child. The drivers are safety conscious, courteous and
professional as any bus drivers anywhere.
The school district bought the first Eagle activity buses in 1981. Since 1981 the Eagle
bus fleet has grown to six. The Eagle activity buses have served the district very well
and are a source of pride in the community. Eagle buses are used primarily for varsity
level activities and have taken students on trips to both coasts. These buses were
equipped with video systems in 1999 to help sponsors and students have more enjoyable
trips with the long distances traveled in West Texas.
