So, how would an environmentally-conscious parent put his kids on a non-polluting, safe school bus, when the manufacturers don't have to (and don't, AFAIK) build them, and the school districts don't have money to buy them?

Sure as heck, if states and taxpayers put education on the bottom tier of budget priorities, modern buses are at the bottom tier of education priorities.
