Saturday, January 16, 1993 Page: 2B QUICK WORDS: HANOVER SCHOOL DISTRICT
HANOVER TWP. — The Hanover Area School District will be the first local
system to test safety swing gates on its buses, superintendent John T. Kmetz
told board members Thursday night.
The devices mount on the front bumper and swing out about three feet so
that students cannot walk so close to the front of the vehicle and out of the
driver’s line of vision.
The gates have been discussed by several area school boards since a teenage
boy died in an accident in the Dallas Area District several months ago.
Kmetz said the gates will be test-mounted on three Hanover buses within the
next month.
In other business, the board:
Engaged Zavada and Associates to provide accounting and auditing services
for fiscal years 1993, 1994 and 1995, at $13,500 per year.
Approved a maintenance contract with Mechanical Service Co., Pittston, for
the Onan emergency generator at the junior/senior high school for the current
