Coupla thoughts here;

1-In many cases school buses are owned/operated by private contractors. not as easy to force change.

2-private schooling has nothing to do with this topic unless you are pointing out that the typical private school kid is 'too good' to ride the bus and rolls up in mommy/daddy's Suburban instead. Not exactly leading the charge for conservation of natural resources.

3-i recently heard that at least one school district facing this issue switched to 4 day school weeks thus eliminated 1/5 of the fuel cost for buses and, pontentially, a reasonable amount of utilities cost. IIRC they did this via 4 longer days. don't recall the state/town though.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
