Buses run smoothly in cold weather
The Chenango Forks Central School District is proud to report that despite the extremely cold temperatures recently, we had no operating issues with our bus fleet. The majority of our buses are powered by propane, and perform reliably in extreme weather conditions. For the small number of diesel-powered buses in our fleet, we use a special fuel mixture that prevents problems caused by cold temperatures, and we keep our buses stored inside.
