A changing of the guard for its busing is bringing about new changes for the Kewaunee School District next year. The district announced this year that it was entering an agreement with Lamers Bus Lines to provide transportation for its students beginning this upcoming school year. The switch came when its current provider, Dworak Bus Service, opted not to submit a bid after providing transportation for the district since 1939. With the change came the challenge: where will the buses go? Dworak Bus Service was located just a short distance away, while the companies bidding on the contract were from well outside the area. Kewaunee School District Superintendent Scott Fritz says they had already planned to build a structure to house their district vans and other vehicles. Changing the transportation service for its busing only changed the scope of what would be needed to solicit more bids and remedy any possible concerns for the future.

Fritz adds that the structure could be funded by the upcoming referendum that will be on ballots this April, though it would likely be built regardless of its passage. Fritz is complimentary of Dworak Bus Service, thanking their current and former employees for many years of dedicated service to the district. Lamers Bus Lines is interested in meeting with the district’s current bus drivers to discuss potential job opportunities.
