This week, Bethel bus drivers will be trying to get an accurate count of how many students take the bus. Students, who are regularly transported to and from school, are encouraged to ride during the official "bus count week." State funding for transportation is determined, in part, by how many students need busing. About 55% of Bethel's transportation costs are covered by the State. The rest is funded by the School Programs and Operations Levy. The "bus count week" ends Oct. 30.
