My name is Tim Lyons, the Transportation Director at Benton. I started as the mechanic 25 years ago and then moved into the role of Transportation Director. I am a Benton grad (once a Bobcat, always a Bobcat) and have one daughter that is a graduate of Benton and two grandchildren that go to Benton. In my spare time I like to be with my family, take day trips, and travel.

Employee Spotlight: Katie Bauder, Keystone Elementary Principal Katie answers the question, "Why did you choose to come back to Benton"? I have an extreme sense of pride, honor, and belonging associated with returning to Benton, which I consider my home (you can’t take the Bobcat out of anyone). This feeling of coming back to a place where I feel a strong connection and sense of identity is indeed a powerful and meaningful experience. It's often referred to as a "homecoming" and it evokes a range of emotions, including nostalgia, happiness, and a deep sense of being rooted. Embracing the familiarity and comfort of my hometown, and feeling proud of my association with it, brings a source of great joy and contentment.

These drivers haul the most precious cargo "Benton Community students". So please beware of them traveling on our roads and especially when they are stopped and the lights are flashing. Parents remind your students to use their seat belts and bus tag when getting on and off the bus. #BeABobcat #APlaceToBelong
