0202ask — This photo, which hangs in the Hall County Central Office, shows an Oakwood school bus from the early 1920s.

My father, Hurst Jarrett, was a Hall County school bus driver in the 1930s, ’40s and until he passed away in 1957. He owned his bus. My question is when did Hall County begin owning the buses instead of being driver-owned?
