The buses are thoroughly examined with doors opened and closed, lights checked, engines inspected and more. Inspectors check everything from the brake systems and fuel lines to the number of band-aids on the bus.<\/p>\n<p>FWCS has a history of excellent inspections, which is important because nearly 16,000 (more than 50 percent) of the district\u2019s students ride FWCS buses to and from school every day. The fleet travels a combined 3.2 million miles a year.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Fort Wayne Community Schools<\/strong><br \/>\nWith nearly 30,000 students, Fort Wayne Community Schools is one of the largest school districts in Indiana.
