Area school districts are finding ways to cut costs as fuel prices soar. Some are taking shorter field trips. Others prohibit bus drivers from idling. And some are raising prices in the lunch line.
"Fuel costs trickle on through everything," said Tony Harkleroad, a Richardson ISD administrator. "We either have to cut other things within our budget to cover cost increases like this, or we have to find other ways to raise revenue."
