Rubi Campuzano started driving school buses in 2014. Back then her bus did not have air conditioning and she remembers how sweaty she and the students got in August and September. Campuzano is now behind the wheel of an air conditioned bus and she says it makes a big difference, especially in the afternoons. (Photo: Bettie Cross){p}{/p}
