Rising diesel fuel costs for school buses impact Philadelphia area school districts

The district has responded by cutting bus routes and may cancel some field trips to save on fuel. Meanwhile, the Council Rock School District has seen six-figure cost savings by switching to an alternative fuel for school buses: propane. Chilekasi Adele reports.
