GWINN, MI— Gwinn Area Community Schools has received funding through the Michigan Department of Education’s Clean Bus Energy Grant program.
The district was given $52,816. It will use the money to purchase a propane bus, which produces significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions than diesel or gasoline buses.
The grant was part of $125 million given to 23 schools and districts across the state for 87 electric and 10 propane buses.
Officials say the new grants are the latest step in a clean-power transition for Michigan school transportation.
