A $20,000 grant from state organizations associated with Gov. Nathan Deal and his wife will allow the Bulloch County Schools, also assisted by local donors, to convert a school bus into a book mobile for children. Dr. Yvette Ledford, one of the school system's four academic support directors and director of its prekindergarten program, wrote the successful grant proposal for the "Get on the Bus" initiative.
