Cache Public Schools to Debut Electric School Buses at Back-to-School Event Français
New electric fleet is expected to deliver significant operational savings for the district CACHE, Okla., Aug. 11, 2025 /CNW/ -- Cache Public Schools is unveiling six new electric school buses during its annual back-to-school night, an annual opportunity for families to visit classrooms, connect with educators, and mark the start of a new academic year. The rollout marks a major step forward in the district's efforts to modernize student transportation. In partnership with Highland Electric Fleets, North America's leading provider of electrification-as-a-service, the district is introducing six Thomas Built Type C electric buses along with six Tellus 30kW DC chargers. The initiative is supported in part by an award of approximately $2 million from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Clean School Bus Program. Cache Public Schools is investing in its students and community by transitioning to electric school buses. The new fleet is expected to cut fuel and maintenance expenses and reduce overall transportation costs, with initial estimates showing more than 50 percent savings in total cost of ownership. These modern buses also provide air conditioning, a major upgrade for students during warm Oklahoma rides to and from school. "Bringing these 6 buses to Cache is a step toward a cleaner, quieter future for our students and our community. This change not only helps us save money over time, but it also shows how thoughtful planning can lead to real benefits for students. We're excited to see the buses in action as school begins this week and proud to be a leader in EV innovation for SW Oklahoma schools," said Chad Hance, Superintendent of Cache Public Schools. Once in operation, the new electric buses will serve daily routes across the Cache public school district, averaging about 50 miles per day. The district partnered with Highland Electric Fleets to oversee the full project, including vehicle delivery, charger installation, and ongoing maintenance and support. Cache Public Schools secured its advanced electric vehicles through Midwest Bus Sales. "By making the shift to electric school buses, Cache is not only creating a cleaner ride for students, but also taking control of long-term transportation costs," said Joshua Williams, Senior Midwestern Regional Manager of Highland Electric Fleets. Cache Public Schools will mark the arrival of the new electric school buses with a ribbon-cutting ceremony during its annual back-to-school night on Monday, August 11, 2025, at 4:00 PM CT. The event will include remarks from district and community leaders. All media and back-to-school night attendees are invited to take a ride on one of the new electric buses and join a guided tour of the district's new charging infrastructure.

Dolphins Linked to Potential Trade With Chiefs Amid Injury Woes
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Miami Dolphins have not been able to catch a break during NFL training camp. Mike McDaniel's team has been suffering tough break after tough break in the defensive secondary from an injury perspective. Artie Burns went down for the season due to a torn ACL. Most recently, Kader Kohou has been ruled out for the year as well due to a knee injury. In response to the injuries, the Dolphins have already made two moves. They have signed veteran cornerbacks Mike Hilton and Jack Jones. However, more depth would be wise to add before the season arrives. Joshua Williams #2 of the Kansas City Chiefs looks on from the field during an NFL football game against the Denver Broncos at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on October 12, 2023 in Kansas City,... Joshua Williams #2 of the Kansas City Chiefs looks on from the field during an NFL football game against the Denver Broncos at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on October 12, 2023 in Kansas City, Missouri. More Photo byTo that end, a potential trade option has been brought up for Miami. Read more: Steelers' Super Bowl Window Could Swing Wide Open With This Trade ESPN's Seth Walder has suggested an intriguing trade between the Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs. That trade would see cornerback Joshua Williams head to Miami in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round pick. "Williams does have some encouraging numbers over his first three seasons. Across 769 coverage snaps, he has allowed 0.9 yards per snap -- better than average -- and 0.6 over the past two years, albeit in a small sample," Walder wrote. "Miami looks more like a team in flux than a franchise looking to add talent before the season. But given the state of the Dolphins' cornerback group, a low-risk maneuver like this would make sense." Originally drafted with the No. 135 overall pick in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, Williams has already shown some potential. In his first three seasons, he has played in 50 games and recorded 91 total tackles, a sack, an interception, and 18 defended passes. At just 25 years old, Williams could break out with a bigger role. The Dolphins could likely give him that role. Read more: Packers Star Josh Jacobs Has Blunt Warning for NFL Defenses Being able to acquire a player with potential at a major position of need for such a small price would be worth the gamble from Miami. He may not be of interest, but Williams would be worth looking into if the Dolphins would rather bring in a younger player who could become a long-term piece of the puzzle. With that being said, Miami is still hoping to get back to the playoffs this season. Over the last couple of years, the Dolphins have failed to live up to the hype. If they aren't careful, injuries could play a major role in another disappointing year. Hopefully, the injury bug will stop biting. Miami is a team to watch as a potential team looking to make moves in the secondary. Williams could be a prime target.

The duo was recognised for their remarkable contributions to November's work, Chapter 2, showcased as part of Cape Ballet Africa's inaugural triple bill, SALT. Mthuthuzeli November, the award-winning choreographer from Cape Town, was honoured with the Prize for Best Choreography for his vibrant modern percussive piece, Chapter 2. The work, featuring an original score by composer Peter Johnson, initially premiered in Cape Town in September 2024 and has since garnered international acclaim. Renowned critic Maggie Foyer of Dance Europe lauded the piece, describing it as 'a winner'. Joshua Williams, an artist with Cape Ballet Africa, was jointly awarded the Prize for Best Male Dancer for his standout performance in Chapter 2. His talent shone brightly on the international stage, where he shared the accolade with Dmitry Smilevskiy, a Principal Dancer at the prestigious Bolshoi Theatre. The renowned excellence of the awards was further highlighted by the nomination of Camille Bracher for Best Female Dancer for her performance in the same production. Debbie Turner, artistic director and founder of Cape Ballet Africa, expressed immense pride in the achievements of November and Williams.

We are humbled and proud to celebrate their win as a win for all South African creatives.' 'This is a profound moment for us, illustrating South African artists can compete as equals alongside our international colleagues. I have had the pleasure of working with Mthuthuzeli since he was a teenager, and Joshua joined our small fledgling company with a big vision shortly after its inception.' She conveyed her heartfelt gratitude to the Benois de la Danse for recognising their work and talent. Mthuthuzeli November's career has been nothing short of extraordinary. Growing up in Cape Town, he began his dance journey at the age of 15 under the mentorship of Fiona Sutton at Dance For All. After graduating with distinction from the Cape Academy of Performing Arts, November captured the attention of the dance world, winning gold medals at the South African International Ballet Competition in both 2012 and 2014. His dynamic trajectory has seen him create award-winning works for various prestigious companies worldwide. Joshua Williams, too, has a compelling story. Discovered at just six years old by dance teacher Tamsin Williams, Joshua pursued his craft with vigour, training for seven years before earning a scholarship to the Tanz Akademi in Zurich, Switzerland. He has graced the stages of numerous companies, including Mzansi Ballet, and has made Cape Ballet Africa his artistic home since 2024.
