These bus drivers come through

The school board at Louisiana's Ascension Parish Public Schools recognized 70 of its district's bus drivers this week for their efforts evacuating residents of the New Orleans area after Hurricane Katrina. Drivers carried more than 1,000 residents to safer and drier areas, after overcoming logistical and security challenges. "One even had a gun pulled on her," a school official told The Ascension Citizen. The school district's superintendent details here other examples of the district's reaching out to help. The Ascension Parish school district is also coming through in one other big way: About 1,500 students from hurricane-affected areas now attend Ascension schools.
