A school bus' work cycle is slightly different: It drives around for 1-2 hours in the morning and another 1-2h in the afternoon and can spend the rest of it's time charging. How many miles does a school bus do in the morning or afternoon? Well, 2 hours with an average speed of 25mph = ~50 miles. A few batteries with regenerative braking, plus a small emergency generator, should do the trick.

I think 50 hyperactive kids in a small space can produce quite a bit of heat
