Yet Another School Bus Tragedy Proves Drivers Need More Training.

Shannon, James W., Jr.

American School Board Journal, v170 n11 p33-34 Nov 1983

A March 1982 Jonesboro, Arkansas, school bus accident in which nine people were killed has rekindled the debate over school bus safety, says the author. The article discusses briefly the opposition historically between school bus manufacturers and safety advocates and presents cost-benefit arguments concerning mandatory seat-belt installation. (JBM)
