Those are out in the boonies.
IIRC, they are large districts. They are very hilly.
This should be interesting in the middle of a lake effect event.

“Get the (electric) school bus!”

Winter is gonna be fun for these buses.
Tow truck operators are gonna make a fortune towing away stranded buses.

The one advantage with school buses is they can recharge them during the day. The transit buses had to run all day and came up short.

Electric vehicle manufacturers traditionally don’t even test the range of these vehicles below twenty degrees—guess they are just gonna have to learn the hard way.

Sounds like a recipe for barbecued school children.

The other problem is that these are not a good fit for rural district.
School buses around here can easily have a one way route of over one hundred miles—the kids are spread all over the place.

It is also very cold in upstate NY during the winter. Heat will be needed in the busses to keep the chillins from getting frostbite. Batteries drop capacity considerably in the cold. So even more opportunities for EV failure. OTO if the batteries catch on fire it would help keep the kids warm.
But the primary mission of the EV stuff is fulfilled- taxpayer money is transferred to special interest groups who can then kickback ten percent to the big guy and other corrupt Democrats.

Sounds like a recipe for barbecued school children. With a lithium fire, I don't think they will be properly cooked.

How much of that do you think will be skimmed off the top as we know undoubtedly it will.

I always believed in “if it works don’t try to fix it.” These commie libs have trashed the America many men died for.

LOL!
Kids are always happy to miss a day or several of school.
Will the state be punished for days of “Skipping” school due to EV bus failures?

The one advantage with school buses is they can recharge them during the day Until one of them catches fire in the bus garage and destroys the school’s whole school bus fleet.
