MCS police vehicles 🔥🔥🔥
The MCS vehicle replacement plan included funding to purchase one new police SUV this year. The Bontrager Family Foundation then donated $35,000 to help with the purchase of a second matching police vehicle which includes a K9 package for Raider. We are incredibly appreciative for the generosity of The Bontrager Family Foundation so both officers could receive a new vehicle at the same time!
We also appreciate everything our MCSPD officers to do keep our schools safe!

If a change needs to be made, or a bus ride needs to be removed, please submit a Transportation Request Form on our website. Forms must be received by July 14, 2023 to guarantee a ride on the first day of school. The bus stop times and bus numbers will be added to the Ride 360 app on August 2, 2023 (one week before school begins). Thank you!
We wish everyone and safe and happy 4th of July!
