Yellow Buses Put Schools in the Red
by Anne Marie Chaker
The pain at the pump is hitting those too young to drive. The 2007-08 school year has come to a close, but as superintendents across the country finalize their budgets for the fall, many are projecting major spikes in a number of areas -- cafeteria food and heating oil, for example. Perhaps the greatest bump is for diesel, which fuels the yellow buses that bring kids to school in the first place.
