Students who rely on portable oxygen tanks on the bus present special challenges for transporters, one reason Sure-Lok offers its GO2 oxygen holder to keep tanks from falling over.

Other topics include an update on child safety restraints, how districts are meeting the challenge of transporting homeless students and the latest on IDEA Part C.
