I fail to see the issue here. School buses have ample space underneath them to store the batteries. Sure you have to account for the extra weight, but just like electric cars the efficiency of the electric motor in a bus is plenty to overcome the difference in power density of the 'fuel' source. Also, given school buses tend to do a lot of stop-and-go, and travel at lower speeds, this is essentially the ideal conditions for an EV.
