From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Warren Consolidated School District is a public school district serving the cities of Warren, Sterling Heights and Troy, Michigan. It operates 25 schools including two specialized partial-day high schools that draw from the other schools within the district. Warren Consolidated has about 15,000 students.[1] The district was led by Superintendent James Clor from 1999 until November 2007.

When the P-chassis was discontinued for School Bus use, the school district switched to buying 54 passenger transit school buses, first the 54 passenger versions of the Blue Bird All American with the Caterpillar 3126/C7 mentioned above, and currently, 54 passenger versions of the Thomas Safe-T-Liner Front Engine. However, several of the P-chassis {Blue Bird Mini Bird} are still in service as spares with most to be auctioned off in the distant future, with only a handful still in regular service, in this case, the 1999 model year. Also, however, the school district did pruchase 1 Blue Bird TC/2000 that was a 54 passenger transit in 1993 when the P-chassis was still being made for School Bus use, but that bus has since been auctioned off. The remainder of the TC/2000s the school district ever purchased, as well as the Superior Conventionals that the school district purchased in the 1970's were wheelchair buses.
