(THE paragraph)
1 Tight school budgets could soon translate into Missouri school districtsâ selling ad space on yellow school buses.
2 Missouri state Rep. T. J. Berry, R-Kearney, says his billâHB 224âisnât a cure-all by any stretch. But legalizing ads inside and outside the buses would give school districts one additional way to raise money in these tough times.
3 âEvery single school district has had to deal with budget concerns,â Berry said last week. âAnd generally speaking, the way they have had to deal with those has been cuts or tax increases.â
4 The school bus is something that is already out there and paid for, he said. His bill would permit districts to generate a modest stream of income from their buses.
5 Few question the need for finding additional funds when it comes to educating children, but at least two groups think the school bus exteriors should remain ad-free.
6 âThere is no such thing as free money,â said Josh Golin, associate director for the Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood. âThere are real costs to this: the price of selling out your students to advertisers.â
7 Students donât need the first and last message they receive from their schools each day to be advertisements, Golin said. Students boarding a bus are certainly a captive audience.
8 The National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services opposes advertising on safety grounds. Obscuring the recognizable school-bus yellow exterior with ads and distracting other drivers âpresent a safety problem around school buses that cannot be ignored,â the group said in its position paper.
9 National studies have shown that anything that diverts a driverâs attention from the road can pose a hazard, opponents say.
10 âAnd a big yellow bus doesnât distract?â Berry asked.
11 Several years ago in Indiana, a Department of Education lawyer suggested that allowing advertisements on buses would invite First Amendment challenges by spurned advertisers, the group noted.
12 Berry said the bill would limit the types of advertising that would be allowed.
13 The regulations would prohibit ads that contain obscene or sexual material, or messages associated with gambling, tobacco products, alcohol, and political campaigns or causes. The ads could not promote drug use or âany illegal activity or antisocial behavior.â They canât contain âharmful, discriminatory, false, misleading or deceptiveâ messages.
14 âThere are a lot of safeguards being built in,â he said.
15 Berry emphasized that the space reserved for the ads would be âvery limited,â meaning toward the back of the bus.
16 By 2012, nine statesâArizona, Colorado, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Tennessee, Texas and Utahâpermitted advertising on the exterior of school buses, according to the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood. Several, including Missouri, considered it last year.
17 The bill made it out of the Missouri House last year but did not clear the Senate, Berry said. He acknowledged that the idea was âvery controversial.â
