This needs to be revised and changed for the sake of those children and employees that are forced to be subjected to these unsafe conditions. The summers in Texas are brutal and some of these children, ages 4 & up, have to sit in the hot bus for nearly an hour. What is it going to take for this to be added, let's not wait for something to happen before we make a change.REPORT COMMENTS

Our children started school on August 10th. The heat index has been in the general range of 114 most of the days that the kids are traveling home from school for over forty minutes. My son is drenched in sweat upon arrival and often has a headache and lightheadedness. I can not pick him up every day as most parents can not. The poor driver is on the bus both ways for two afternoon shifts. This is well over four hours. I worry about his well being and, subsequently, the well being of those in his care...our children. This is inexcusable and needs immediate remedy!REPORT COMMENTS

I am a school bus driver who is subjected to extreme heat conditions on my school bus every day. It is inhumane to force us to stay on those rolling ovens for hours at a time with no air conditioning. It is also a great danger to the students.REPORT COMMENTS

I'm a school bus driver. I'm one of the lucky ones who have AC on a bus. When I first drove a school bus I didn't have AC. When I was given a bus with AC it was like winning the lottery.It's cruel and inhumane to have school children and bus drivers to ride on a bus without AC. They can become sick from heat exhaustion.

I personally experience the effects of the extreme heat and the exhaust coming back into the bus! Drivers and the children we transport deserve to have these conditions factored in. Please pass the proposed ammendments to this act to see that we are all protected.REPORT COMMENTS

Considering the low pay for school bus drivers the least that should be expected is a safe and somewhat comfortable working environment. We are starting the school year eight bus drivers short, all the routes that need to be filled are for non ac buses.REPORT COMMENTS

On Friday the 19th of August, Temecula Unified School District took their Varsity players from Temecula Valley High School to a scrimmage in Palm Springs. They took a school bus that WAS NOT air conditioned. It was a 106 in the desert and the trip took 2 hours. The boys had all the windows down and were still wringing wet with perspiration. This was not unlike being in a tin oven. Begs the question, who is in charge? Someone woke up, they rode an air conditioned charter bus home. Too little, too late! Unconscionable. Yet, when you try to discuss any heat related issues with them, you get the usual run around and the administration is often defensive and rude.REPORT COMMENTS
