I have confirmed this is actually a state law that states no food or drink on bus.

 

Here is link with all laws....

It did not jump out.

 

Also, not sure if a school bus is a school bus in legal terms when used for athletic transportation.

I will say that water is lot different mess than Gatorade or pop to clean up. I see NO problem with a child having water. They can have water in labs at school but NOT on a bus with no air conditioning. On hot days in the late May and June that our school gave bottles of water to kids as they got on the bus. Also I will say this: HYRDRATION doe NOT start Friday on the bus to the game. It needs to start days earlier. One of the biggest problems coaches face today is athlete do not take care of themselves expect in the presence of a coach. They go home, lay around, drink and eat bad things and then when it comes game time they loose a ton of fluid and dehydrate quickly. Only so much you can do on game day to combat this. Athletes train proper and take care of yourself!

Leave it up to the Public Schools/State Board of Education to come up more stupid rules. Before you know it they will be required to wear diapers because their afraid someone might :poop: their pants and have it run down their legs.

Why would there be a state law against having water on the bus?

 

So they can sue the coach and not the state. Coach is the middle man he just like the middle class, always paying for everyone else.

Because there are school administrators that are stupid...

What is this POP you speak of?

:clap:

Do I have to start the "chili" thingy again?

Just another advantage that Private schools have over Public schools.:popcorn:

I would venture a guess that schools lobbied for it. Government and Education are amazing bodies who often over think things.

 

Truest statement ever.

Perhaps this is the reason why they don't allow food and drink on the bus...got to kill the source:thumb:
