School Busses

People have asked why we have school busses parked at the Lakeview Campus this year. Some people have even said, “I like seeing the busses at school.” While others have asked “Why are they parked at school?” The fact is that the area where we have stored the busses for the past five years has been under renovation as the property was sold and our parking area has been relocated. Our new area is almost ready for occupancy and we hope to return the busses to their Frontage Road location in Darien within the next two weeks.

The District operates 14 school busses and they have been parked near the Darien Public Works facility south of I-55 since the sale of the old Center Cass School in 2000. We have been working with the City of Darien to develop a joint use facility with the City, Park District and School District. We have just recently agreed to a new five year plan to keep the busses stored at this site.
