MAPS is adding three new electric-powered buses—at no cost to district taxpayers—thanks to a $1.2 million state grant. This upgrade will help the district save over $100,000 per year in operations costs, plus savings on fuel and maintenance... all without removing any existing buses from the fleet! #FoundationsForTheFuture

❓What will happen without new funding?

➡️ This year’s cuts were mostly kept out of classrooms, but that won’t be possible going forward.
➡️ Future cuts will directly impact students and learning.
➡️ Unstable funding makes it harder to plan for the future and sustain meaningful progress.
