Fuel Costs Skyrocket for School Buses | Tulsa News

Broken Arrow Public Schools is facing a fuel crisis as bus costs skyrocket—gas and diesel expenses jumped from $55K to nearly $96K in just weeks, fueled by diesel prices climbing from $3.51 to over $5.12 per gallon. With 17,000 students transported daily, every dollar spent on fuel is money lost for tires or new buses.

Officials are stretching current funds through December, with the school board set to decide on emergency funding to keep routes running.
