Temperature in traveling school bus was 87 degrees

How hot does it get in a school bus when the temperature is 97 degrees outside?
On Monday, assistant superintendent Marc Turner and school district risk man ager Scott Meyers went on a school bus ride at noon to see the actual temperature in a school bus with no air conditioner.
Long-time school bus driver Tony Meaux drove the bus through Abbeville and then to Perry. Half of the windows were down, creating a nice breeze when the bus moved.
The temperature outside at noon was 97 degrees in the sun and 96 in the shade.
When the bus got on the road, the temperature dropped to 88 degrees inside. It stayed that temp as the bus drove through Abbeville.
When the bus drove on La. 82 towards Perry at 40 miles per hour, the temperature dropped to 87 degrees.
The conclusion of the temperature test indicates that sitting inside a moving bus is 10 degrees less than sitting outside.
“I am not denying it is hot,” said Turner, who had a long sleeve shirt and pants and was sweating. “But it is cooler inside the bus than outside.”
Turner directed Transportation Supervisor Ken Small to send an email to all bus drivers letting them know that all windows must be open when their route begins. And drinking water is allowed on buses.
