Mom Concerned After Temperature On
School Bus Reaches 138 Degrees
Quote:A digital thermometer on one Houston County bus this week showed the temperature at 138 degrees. The vehicle had been sitting idle while waiting to pick up students.
“I would like for somebody to step up,” Ms. Granger said. She wants the Alabama Legislature to pass a law making it mandatory for all buses to have a cooling unit. However, there are no current plans for lawmakers to address that issue.
Jay Bruner, transportation director for Dothan City Schools, would also like to air-conditioning on all of his 94 bus fleet. However, at a cost of up to $10,000 per bus, sufficient money is not available.
