Following a school bus crash in Clark County that left one child dead and more than 20 injured, the Ohio PTA is asking for school buses to be equipped with seatbelts.
There were no seatbelts in the bus involved in the crash, and the student killed was thrown from the bus.
The group has been advocating for the addition of seatbelts for a long time, and in 1998, the National PTA called for all new buses purchased by districts to be equipped with seatbelts."The focus has kind of gotten to the back burner, and I think the focus on having some regulations or legislation definitely needs to be revisited,” Revay said.
