The Missouri State Highway Patrol releases the results of their annual inspection of school busses throughout the state.

According to the release from the patrol, a total of 262 Missouri school districts earned the Patrol’s Total Fleet Excellence award for 2024. 10 of those districts are in the region with an additional four districts scoring 90% or better. 

The patrol inspected a total of 11,360 school buses in school districts throughout the state. 

Buses found to have defects are required to be repaired within 10 days while buses placed out-of-service require correction and reinspection before being returned to service according to the report.
