HENDERSON â The Vance County Schoolsâ transportation department recently received its annual bus inspection from the state. In the process, inspectors assign point values to violations, meaning a low score is the desired outcome. During the inspection, the state thoroughly examined 10-percent of the school systemâs bus fleet. This year, Vance County Schools achieved a score of 22.43. Since 2017, the Vance school district continues to improve its inspection score, performing at a level better than the state average. âI am very proud of our mechanics, who on a daily basis ensure our buses are safe and running properly,â said David Cooper, VCS transportation director. âWe are elated that one of our buses had a perfect score. Our department strives daily to put the safety of our students and bus drivers as our No. 1 priority.â
