Transportation Department Celebrates 30 Years of Excellence

This morning the Transportation Department was joined by Superintendent Pat Watson and Assistant Superintendent for Finance & Operations Tina Kostiuk as they celebrated the Michigan State Police granting BHS its 30th consecutive Certificate of Excellence for 100 percent accuracy in bus inspections.

The perfect ratings started in 1992, which was when lead mechanic Richard Hella started working for the department. “Richard was an Air Force mechanic before he came to us so everything is in perfect order,” explained Jane Mack, BHS Transportation Manager. “There’s a place for everything and everything is in its place. There are always parts available, and, at the end of every day, the garage is spotless and everything is put away so we know exactly where we are starting up in the morning.”

Congratulations, team and Richard!
