Crowded Classes Near Home Spur Travel for Raleigh County Schools
Raleigh County's school transportation system carries a load about 40 percent higher than in 1940 and will gain three additional 60 passenger buses arriving January 35 to replace aging equipment. Supervisor John Evans notes the need to move pupils between home districts until a long delayed building program funds are available. Ten new vehicles this year include four 48 passenger buses, a 54 passenger bus, and a 60 passenger bus to relieve crowded routes. Elementary students from Crab Orchard ride to Glen White while eighth graders go to Beckley Junior High. At Hollywood MacArthur, excess enrollment is routed to Mabscott, and Mount View students are bused to Marsh Fork due to inadequate facilities even after two temporary rooms.
