SATSUMA, Alabama -- Satsuma City Schools officials are seeking bids from vendors to buy two 2015 school buses to bolster an aging fleet. But new buses don't come cheap: Estimates range from $65,000 to $85,000, depending on how the bus is equipped. For example, buses used to transport special education students must have air conditioning.
