LAFAYETTE, Ind. – On Jan. 28., the Tippecanoe School Corporation announced that it had hired Kirk Brooks as its interim director of transportation.

Brooks has around 12 years of experience in the trade and is ASE certified master medium/heavy truck technician and a member of the School Transportation Association of Indiana (STAI).

“I am excited to transition into the role of Transportation Director to continue providing safe and reliable transportation for the students of our corporation,” said Brooks, in a release from TSC.
“A student's educational day starts with the bus ride to school, and I will strive to ensure that this experience is a positive one. I feel blessed to work for such a great school corporation and will work diligently to ensure that the safety of all students entrusted to our care is the utmost priority.”
TSC is the second-largest geographical school district in Indiana, covering 437 square miles and serving nearly 14,000 students.
