Abstract

The Department of Public Instruction is given the responsibility to prescribe standards to govern the construction of equipment used in the transportation of school children. Contained herein are the minimum standards for school buses as recommended by the Transportation Advisory Committee and adopted by the State Board of Public Instruction. These specifications have been developed for the purpose of providing maximum safety for Iowa pupils who ride the buses to and from school. School officials and others concerned with transportation equipment should familiarize themselves with these standards. All purchases should be made with the understanding and guarantee that both chassis and bodies meet these new standards on the effective date of same and are subject to inspection and approval by the State Department of Public Instruction. The State Board of Public Instruction is extremely grateful to the members of the Advisory Committee who gave so freely of their time in developing these standards and to others who have assisted in the formulation of them by making practical suggestions.
