The Bryant School Board has selected Scott Curtis as the district’s new Transportation Director.
Curtis was named Director of Transportation at the school board meeting on Thursday. He is taking the reins from Tom Farmer, who was recently elected mayor of Benton. Mr. Farmer is retiring after 25 years as head of the district’s Transportation Department.
Mr. Curtis, a former Assistant Principal at Bryant High School, became the district’s first Assistant Transportation Director in 2016. His duties include driver training, bus discipline, and implementation of new and safer transportation options this school year. He will transition to his new role on January 7, 2019.
“We are very excited for Mr. Curtis to lead our Transportation Department. He is committed to student safety and will work hard to provide excellent service to our families,” said Superintendent Karen Walters.
As director, Mr. Curtis will be responsible for over 100 employees, 105 buses, and safely transporting over 6,700 students to school and home each day.
