SCHOOL BUS SAFETY 

SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN OHIO CAN NOW APPLY FOR A SHARE OF STATE GRANT MONEY DEDICATED TO SCHOOL BUS SAFETY. 
A NEW $10 MILLION IN GRANTS IS NOW GOING TOWARDS MAKING SCHOOL BUSES SAFER IN OHIO. SCHOOL DISTRICTS CAN USE THE MONEY TO HELP FIX OR REPLACE SAFETY FEATURES OR BUY A NEW BUS ALL TOGETHER. THE FUNDS ARE BECAUSE OF RECOMMENDATIONS LAST YEAR FROM THE OHIO SCHOOL BUS SAFETY WORKING GROUP, WHICH SAYS THE STATE SHOULD HELP OFFSET THE COST OF UPGRADING SCHOOL FLEETS. APPLICATIONS WILL BE TAKEN UNTIL EARLY NOVEMBER.
