(Washington, D-C) – Four school districts in the KJAN listening area have been chosen by the Biden administration to receive electric buses. The White House says the Environmental Protection Agency’s “Clean School Bus” Program is delivering nearly 2,500 electric and low-emission vehicles to nearly 400 districts nationwide.

Six school districts in Nebraska and 11 in Iowa were selected. In this area, Logan Magnolia will receive five buses, the Sidney School District receives three buses, the IKM-Manning High School and Coon Rapids-Bayard will each get one bus. 99% of the schools selected are in areas that are low-income, rural or serve tribal students.
