This PBS News Hour report looks at the national movement to legislate adding seat belts to school buses, which some school administrators say could cost as much as $8,000 per bus — even as statistics show that buses are safer forms of transportation than riding with parents. "Three-point seat belts should be the norm," said Mark Rosekind, administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration."
