I also worked for 28 years as an art teacher, working primarily with at-risk, learning-disabled students, including some with autism. What students (and the wider American public) might not realize is that young people aren’t the only ones using it. Maryland should be lauded for mandating emission reductions in the school bus fleet. The limited delivery of electric school buses is not a fatal flaw of the program. And Montgomery County is not the only jurisdiction in the region that has been forced by budget constraints and timelines to purchase new diesel school bus fleets rather than alternative fuel fleets.
