You are pointing out a math problem that doesn't exist. Of course the number of armed people would be smaller in a one room school house as opposed to a high school of 1,500 or a university of 15K.
When the legislature passes a blanket law allowing all employees and teachers to carry on campus with a CCW, the factors I mentioned are in play across the board.
It doesn't matter if a bus driver is only on campus during the times they are picking up, or dropping off kids, they would be armed if something happened while they were there.
It is a political feel-good bandaid solution with a very real potential for a worst case scenario that I think should be avoided.
It is rooted in the notion that even though we have armed police in many schools now, and they have been instrumental in stopping these spree shooters before they could finish the job so to speak, that a cheaper, unworkable, 'fix' is preferable.
And that somehow, the next person bent on going out in a blaze of death, will suddenly decide "Gosh, I sure would like to shoot up the school today, but Mrs. Grimbley might get mad at me, and she's got a gun"...

Just pointing out the problems with your math.
Move the total employees to 200 and statistically that would still only have 10 people with permits.
With at least half of them teachers it cuts the number down more.
As I stated in another post armed guards are much better.
I have never been around a school system were each school has their own busses.
All of them I have seen shared busses among various levels of schools.
Thus the busses were in a centralized location, thus the bus drivers spend 0 time inside the schools.
