November 26th, 2019 – Islip Town Councilman John C. Cochrane, Jr. recently met with Bay Shore High School Superintendent Joseph C. Bond, State and local officials, to celebrate Bay Shore School District’s launch of their new fully electric Blue Bird school buses.

The initiative, which aims to reduce children’s exposure to harmful emissions, as well as the overall impact of our carbon footprint, kicked-off with the replacing of four diesel-powered school buses with 100% electric-powered buses.

Islip Councilman Cochrane congratulated Bay School Schools on the launch of the environmentally conscious program, and commended the district for becoming the first in Suffolk County to implement the fully electric buses.

Bay Shore Schools plan to reduce transportation emissions to 100% emission free, within the next 10 years.
