Seattle, Mar 20, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Schools are going after a major cut down in their budget that is sure to affect parents having to pay for each and every thing, big or small. It first came upon the law enforcers of Washington who had proposed the very idea of putting up ads on school bus. Following that, majority of American states like Texas, Arizona, Minnesota, Colorado, Florida and Tennessee have already adopted the process, with Ohio, Utah and New Jersey being the newbies to fall under this.
Although there has been a huge session of grumbling and opposition from the parents side, the School districts maintain that ads on school buses are pretty lucrative. They also went ahead to mention how the advertisers appreciates the idea of people being attracted to those ads when its being put up in a school bus.
The supervisor for school transportation, California Department of Education, John Green feels that this very method of school buses being decked up with ads is an age old process which has been into existence for over 15 years. He however, sides with the parents by pointing out the fact that these dazzling ads which are being put up on the school buses will make them all the way more prone to accidents. He suggested methods like teachers wearing sponsor logos or putting up billboards right next to the school. It is being said that a $500,000 deal has been scored between the First Bank of Colorado and the Jefferson County Schools, which shall generate $7 per day on everybus, which is extremely beneficial, considering the hum drum economy.
