CCSD Transportation showed their Tiger hearts today when a bus loaded with students from Arkansas broke down in Metter. Transportation director Travis Lanier and Driver Lake Blackburn loaded up the students and drove them to Birmingham to meet up with a replacement bus from Arkansas. As of 8:45 pm, they are still in Alabama, but are on their way back so they can be ready to transport kids to 4-H camp tomorrow! Thank you, gentlemen, for helping a fellow school system. Tiger Nation is proud of you! 🖤🧡 #WINatEVERYTHING
