Vogel, Carl – District Administration, 2009
Since last school year, the St. Lucie County (Florida) Public Schools reduced the number of buses it operates from 399 to 362, despite opening two new schools.

Sloggett, Joel – School Business Affairs, 2009
Many school districts in North America have adopted policies to permit cameras on their properties and, when needed, on buses used to transport students. With regard to school buses, the camera is typically a tool for gathering information to monitor behavior or to help investigate a complaint about behavior. If a picture is worth a thousand…

LaFee, Scott – Education Digest: Essential Readings Condensed for Quick Review, 2009
Public education is like riding a roller-coaster, except that in education the thrill tends to come on the way up, when the economy is flying high, and funding is flush and the future feels as bracing as the wind rushing past. However, this is not one of those times. The economy seems to be almost in free fall. Optimism plummets with each…

Students' perceptions of school safety and experiences with bullying were examined in a large Canadian cohort of 5,493 girls and 5,659 boys in Grades 4 to 12.

Ash, Katie – Education Week, 2008
This article reports that with fuel prices soaring nationwide, reaching more than $4 for each gallon of gas or diesel, school districts are struggling to supplement transportation-budget shortfalls and find ways to offset the increasing costs as a new school year approaches. Now districts--most of whose buses run on diesel fuel--are scrambling to…

Buning, Mary Ellen; Shutrump, Sue; Manary, Miriam A. – Exceptional Parent, 2007
Riding on a school bus is one of the safest forms of transportation in the U.S. Every year 450,000 public school buses travel more than 4.3 billion miles to transport 23.5 million children to and from school and school related activities.

Aarons, Dakarai I. – Education Week, 2008
A struggling economy and skyrocketing fuel costs are making their grim presence felt as school districts across the country open their doors.

Shieh, Gwowen – Multivariate Behavioral Research, 2009

It appears that the inference…

McNeil, Michele – Education Week, 2008
Hard-to-grasp dollar amounts are forcing real cuts in K-12 education at a time when the cost of fueling buses and providing school lunches is increasing and the demands of the federal No Child Left Behind Act still loom larger over states and districts. "One of the real challenges is to continue progress in light of the economy," said…
