High Five for Wave Pride
CNO welcomes
new GSD information site
County News Online is proud to welcome a new information source to
community readers… Greenville School District’s High Five for Wave
Pride. Jon McGreevey, Director of Administrative Services for
Greenville Schools, asked recently if it would be possible to add a
link somewhere as it provides regular information about the District,
the students and their accomplishments.
“Positive things,” McGreevey said. “There are a lot of really great
things about the District and these kids that people never see. We put
them on our blog all the time.”
He noted that the readership is growing. It had about 10,000 visitors
last year, but that people don’t really know about it yet.
CNO decided to take it one step further. It has been added as a link
under Community. Information is posted on it regularly, much of it not
available through the traditional media. Occasionally will pull a story
and post it on CNO to remind readers of the Blog’s availability.
“We recognize that the same could be said of all of our Districts in
the County,” CNO Editor Bob Robinson said. “We will do this for any of
our school districts that request it.”
Following is a recent post from High Five for Wave Pride…
Ohio EPA Awards Clean Diesel School Bus Grant to Greenville City Schools
Children in eight Ohio school districts will benefit from Ohio EPA
grants awarded to install pollution control equipment on 75 buses and
idle reduction technology on 68 buses as part of Ohio EPA’s Clean
Diesel School Bus Grant program.
A total of $277,885.53 was awarded to reduce children’s exposure to
pollutants in diesel exhaust. The equipment is expected to eliminate
262.2 pounds of fine particle pollution, and more than three tons
annually in carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons. These
benefits will compound every year that these buses are in service.
School bus retrofit grants are supported with civil penalties collected
by Ohio EPA for violations of Ohio’s environmental protection laws.
Grant recipients include:
Anna Local Schools, Shelby County, $42,539 to install diesel oxidation
catalysts and anti-idling equipment on seven buses, and anti-idling
equipment on seven additional buses;
Benton Carroll Salem School District, Ottawa County, $9,396 to install
diesel oxidation catalysts on six buses;
East Holmes Local Schools, Holmes County, $55,669 to install diesel
oxidation catalysts and anti-idling equipment on 11 buses and
anti-idling equipment on an additional six buses;
Greenville City Schools, Darke County, $63,653 to install diesel
oxidation catalysts and anti-idling equipment on seven buses, diesel
oxidation catalysts on six buses and anti-idling equipment on an
additional 12 buses;
