This is what our school had been telling us for years that it was a law (which it is in several states) until the incident with our bus came up last year when we were then told that 15 passenger vans were definitely illegal and 12 passenger vehicles were the max capacity vehicle as long as there were no more than 10 people. They just preferred all school groups utilize buses so it was easier to stand behind a blanket rule but at the end of the day it was the preference of our school keeping us from using them.
Your results will vary but we were told for four years it was illegal and when the rubber met the road it wasn't.
