Lake Orion Bus Drivers Do More Than Drive Kids Home

Last week launched an innovative program called Project: BusSTAR (Supporting Teaching by Assisting in Reading).

Project BusSTAR utilizes bus drivers volunteering their time between their AM and PM routes to assist students with reading. Drivers work in conjunction with the building principals and directly with the teachers, to assist students who could use extra help. The purpose of this program is to utilize available human resources of the transportation department to assist student learners in support of the district's mission.

Ken Nuss, Principal of , said, “This program demonstrates that it is not just teachers in the classroom that make Lake Orion Community Schools such a special place, but community members and school employees getting involved in student’s education. It takes a village to make education work!”
