A news release touted a recent education award that will benefit Chandler Unified and other Arizona school districts.
The news release, from the staff of Sen. Mark Kelly, said Kelly and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema were announcing $8.35 million for Arizona “clean school buses”as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
As part of the Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Schools Bus Program rebate competition, funded through Kelly and Sinema’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, award recipients announced in late May will be able to replace a total of 30 older, diesel school buses with electric school buses.
Chandler Unified will receive $640,000, which Kelly states is enough to pay for three of the 30 total electric school buses mentioned in the award.
The other Arizona award recipients include the Littleton Elementary, Laveen Elementary, Isaac Elementary, Joseph City, Madison Elementary, Creighton Elementary, Mohave Valley elementary districts, the Patagonia Union High School district and Casa Blanca Community School
The Isaac and Creighton districts will each receive $1.765 million within the award, allowing each district to purchase five electric buses.
