July 20, 2012 - Several states have considered allowing advertisements on school buses in an effort to raise revenue for distressed public school districts. [Unhindered advertisements on buses may result in children being exposed to advertising that undermines public health or encourages unhealthy behaviors][1], according to a paper recently published in the _American Journal of Public Health_.
School districts should be aware of First Amendment case law related to government property so they can enact policies to prohibit advertising that is inappropriate for a school setting.
