The buses, FWIW, were used for field trips according to that link:

“The transportation requirements to handle the increased school enrollment were presented to corporate officials at the end of the 3rd quarter 2015. On February 4, 2016, two new fleet vehicles were delivered to the KCRC…”

And like the earlier article from Arizona Central, there’s not shortage of libs who don’t get that this photos was from the Obama years:
