Will Bring Reputable and Unparalleled Safe Service to Smithton R-VI School District and Tipton R-VI School District this Fall

SMITHTON AND TIPTON, MO, USA, May 23, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Durham School Services (DSS), a leader in student transportation, will begin new partnerships in Missouri with Smithton R-VI School District in the fall and Tipton R-VI School District this summer. Both partnerships are three years with two one-year optional extensions. Durham currently serves over fifteen communities in Missouri and is excited to expand its presence and footprint to the Smithton and Tipton communities.

As part of its new partnership with Smithton R-VI School District, Durham will run regular education routes starting this fall. Tipton R-VI School District will include a mix of regular education, special education, early childhood, and vocational routes. Ahead of the 2024-2025 school year, Durham will also run a summer route for the Tipton R-VI School District. All buses will be equipped with safety technology such as DriveCam and Zonar, and GPS tracking for parents via Durham’s Bus Zone app.

“The Smithton R-VI School District is excited to partner with Durham Services as our new contracted provider of student transportation for the upcoming school year and into the near future,” said David Bray, Superintendent, Smithton R-VI School District. “We are looking forward to a positive relationship with a cooperative approach to serving our students, families, coaches, sponsors and teachers for transportation needs in the coming years.”
