CHARLESTON —
School administrators in West Virginia now have the option of transporting students with propane-powered school buses.
The state Board of Education on Thursday voted to change its policy to allow the use of propane as a fuel for school buses.
State Schools Superintendent Jorea Marple says switching to propane could save an average $3,100 per bus in fuel costs annually.
More than two dozen other states have adopted propane as an alternative fuel source.
