Possibly. As stated above, Federal laws do not extend to the use of school buses. However, a school or school district may be liable for damages for not using a school bus to transport students and a crash occurs in which students are killed or injured. This is a question of State law, however, so schools or school districts should consult their attorneys or insurance carriers on this question.
