Two school district operations in Texas were among the fleets recognized for exemplary performance in this year's "100 Best Fleets" list.

The fleets are chosen based on a variety of documented criteria, including accountability, use of technology and information, staff development and training, quick and efficient repair turnaround, and resource stewardship.

Here are the selected school district fleets and their places on the list:

Also, four school district fleets earned honorable mentions:

• Austin (Texas) ISD
• Galena Park ISD, Houston
• Lower Merion School District, Ardmore, Pennsylvania
