School Bus Ads in OK??

As I have commented before, School Bus Ad's are becoming more and more a hot topic and many schools have varied opinions as to if this is really a good idea or not....just recently the bill passed the house in Oklahoma and now goes back to the Senate for approval...This bill has already been approved in many other states for the use of school districts to use bus advertising--These states include Colorado, Arizona, Florida, Minnesota, Tennessee and Texas. The idea behind the bill is to give the school districts a chance to generate extra money that would help offset cuts caused by budget downturn...

I believe it can help benefit some of the smaller school districts...but then again the smaller the school district the smaller the resource it is to find businesses to advertise....Also, do we really want all that distraction on the road??? Isn't and shouldn't our #1 goal be to make sure our students are safe??

I'm on the fence, I think there is a lot of things still left to consider for schools...like who sets up the cost of the ads??? Who will sell the ads?? Who will manage the funds?? Does the outcome really benefit the school?? Will it save jobs?? Pay for new buses?? Pay for paper??

Time will tell!! As schools implement and decide to do this we should be able to help other schools know the ups and down....

But for now here at National Bus Sales, we have a in house graphic designer who can design ads to help school districts with this process...
