Madison School Bus Inspections Earn Top Safety Award
Madison City Schools has once again passed a rigorous state inspection for bus safety.
The school district's Transportation Department drew zero safety deficiencies in the final report by the Alabama State Department of Education's inspection of school buses. The inspection covered 106 buses in the fleet.
These annual probes are designed to identify potential maintenance issues before they become problems. The District has earned perfect scores in the last several years.

The district runs 57 elementary school bus routes, 31 middle school routes and 30 high school routes.
