Wrenshall School’s bus fleet is now over 50% propane.

Wrenshall Public School District’s new propane school bus, delivered earlier this spring, was purchased with the help of a $25,000 EPA grant. An anticipated $4,000 rebate from the Minnesota Propane Association will be an additional financial boost.

With this new addition to its fleet, Wrenshall School now runs five propane buses. The associated fiscal and environmental benefits are important to the district. Propane is less expensive than diesel and burns cleaner. Propane buses have fewer maintenance issues and typically have lower maintenance costs. Propane buses lower harmful emissions and exceed current EPA standards by 90% as compared to diesel.

Howie: Duluth Schools’ credit downgrade is serious

Duluth does not have one governmentwide financial crisis. It has a school district in a precarious position and a city government that is beginning to encounter some of the same cost-versus-revenue pressures.
