A state law that took effect last year requires all school buses bought after July 1, 2005, to be equipped with lap and shoulder belts. The bus will be operated by the Antelope Valley Schools Transportation Agency, which buses pupils for the high school district as well as for Lancaster, Keppel and Westside elementary school districts. The school bus agency already has 14-passenger buses with lap belts, mainly used for special education pupils and other youngsters with special needs, said chief executive officer Jene Jansen. This will be the school bus agency's first bus with shoulder belts, Jansen said. To replace aging full-size vehicles, the school bus agency expects to buy about 10 buses a year, with delivery starting probably next winter or spring, that will carry lap and shoulder belts under the new state law. ``It's exciting. It's a change,'' Jansen said. CAPTION(S): 3 photos Photo: (1 -- 3 -- color in AV edition only) Knight High School students, top, are on board with the idea that strapping in makes for a safe ride.
