DeKalb County Schools – School Bus Batteries Stolen

WSBTV reports that the DeKalb County Schools have been the target of thieves, specifically the DeKalb County school buses.

A source inside DeKalb County schools told Channel 2 Action News that thieves have hit several bus parking depots, taking more than 60 batteries from buses at Cedar Grove Middle School. On Tuesday, thieves stole 14 from buses at Henderson Middle School. A week ago, 70 batteries were stolen from Stevenson High School buses. At $75 a battery, that’s nearly $11,000 down the drain.

The problem is costing the district a lot of money and aggravation.
