Multiple Scott County buses were vandalized overnight. Scott County Schools Superintendent Patricia Putty said the ignition systems of 43 buses located in the bus parking area behind the transportation were vandalized when the vandals broke off the bus keys.
Putty said the district's mechanics Darrin Biddle and Bobby Gillespie were able to get the buses running this morning.
"Our first priority is to get the students to school safely, and we did," Putty said.
The cost to the schools for the vandalism has yet to be determined.
"We're hoping the camera will be able to give us more information to at least see who the perpetrators were," Putty said.
On the news tonight they said that they leave all the keys in the ignition and have for the past 28 years JUST IN CASE THEY HAVE TO CALL IN A SUBSTITUTE DRIVER. They decided they MAY have to make some changes such as put a fence around the facility, put more security cameras in place and LEAVE THE KEYS IN A SAFER PLACE. HELLLLLOOOOO PEOPLE! ARE YOU SERIOUS? Can you believe that it took someone 28 years to figure this out. Holy Cow, only in a small town!
