IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Grand Valley Local Schools Awarded Ohio School Bus Safety Grant
Orwell, Ohio —
Grand Valley Local Schools is pleased to announce that the district has been awarded funding through the Ohio School Bus Safety Grant, supporting continued efforts to enhance student transportation safety.
The district received $10,628 in grant funding, representing a portion of the total amount requested in the original application. While the full scope of the grant request was not funded, the award reflects the State of Ohio’s continued investment in student safety and school transportation improvements.
Grand Valley Local Schools applied for funding to support several key safety upgrades to its school bus fleet, including occupant restraining devices that conform to school bus seat belt requirements and multiple advanced lighting systems designed to increase visibility for students entering and exiting buses.
The lighting upgrades included in the application are:
Guardian Angel lighting
Ground Wash lights
LED Student lights – Red
LED Student lights – Amber
These lighting systems are especially important for Grand Valley Local Schools, as many district buses travel on very dark rural back roads that lack appropriate — and in some cases any — roadway lighting. Enhanced lighting significantly improves visibility for both students and motorists during loading and unloading, particularly in early morning and evening hours.
The Guardian Angel light is designed to activate as a student exits the bus and crosses the roadway, helping illuminate the child’s path and increasing visibility until the student safely reaches their driveway. This added layer of protection is intended to reduce the risk of accidents and improve safety during one of the most critical moments of a student’s daily commute.
“We appreciate the State of Ohio’s support of school transportation safety,” said Dr. Nye, Superintendent of Grand Valley Local Schools. “Our buses travel many rural roads with limited lighting, and these safety enhancements play a critical role in protecting our students as they get on and off the bus each day.”
Grand Valley Local Schools will share additional information as grant details are finalized and implementation plans move forward.

For the second time in the last three years, the Grand Valley girls basketball team is league champion.
With a 59-16 win on the road against Vienna Mathews, Coach Zach Sirrine's team clinched the outright title in the Stars Division. The Mustangs are 17-2 (13-1 NAC Stars Division), giving the program its most wins in a season in over two decades.
To celebrate, the Mustangs will cut down the nets in their home gymnasium tonight (Tuesday) after the boys' home game against Mathews. They're doing that because the GV girls don't have anymore home games this season.
"It's a testament to the girls and the hard work they put in this season and over the last three years," Sirrine said.
Cloe Turk led the team with 14 points, with Riley Rowan, Sophie Thirion and Spencer scoring nine apiece. As usual, the Mustangs' winning recipe included smothering defense that often resulted into turnovers and quick conversions.
"I feel we played well, especially on defense," Sirrine said. "Defense is what creates offense for us for sure."
Another common thread is scoring balance.
"We feel on any given night, four or five different girls can lead us in scoring," Sirrine said. "I feel like it's tough to stop us because of that. You just can't take one girl away."
The Mustangs travel to Cardinal on Thursday before wrapping up the regular season next week on the road against Perry and Crestview.
The first three years of the Sirrine Era of Grand Valley girls basketball has been a rousing success, with a championship in Year 1, a second-place finish last year and another title this year. Over the past three years the Mustangs have a 48-16 record.
The future is bright, too, with no seniors on this year's roster.
"We'll have our whole team back next year," Sirrine said. "Obviously I feel our program is in a great spot. We're trending in the right direction for sure. These girls are all super hard workers. The best is yet to come for this group.
