October 2010 Cove r St o r y :
Te yellow school bus is a distinct slice
of Americana, but it is also has a world- wide reach, at least conceptually. While the actual vehicle may differ from country to country, children are children no matter where they live, and they all need to get to and from school. Meet Anson Stewart, a graduate of Swarthmore College who will be reporting filing reports for STN over the coming year from South America and Africa as he spends a year abroad while completing a fellowship program. Senior Editor Stephane Babcock also describes a new program in Saudi Arabia designed to increase routes for the kingdom’s female school students. We also preview the up- coming NAPT and NASDPTS conferences in Portland, Ore.
Features:
t r ai ning f o r th e t r an Siti o n 54 Te importance of preparing Head Start and pre-kindergarten children for the changes
The newest clean-fuel transportation alternative. And the FIRST Type A propane-powered school bus.
