    Howdy, as this is just a skin for the Wentward it should really be placed in the Mods/Skins section. I also suggest examining the markings of a real school buses as a reference for your skin.

    Most school buses have specific markings that yours is missing. I'm almost positive many of these markings are actually a required standard for any school bus operating in the United States. If you look around the internet you might be able to find some official documents describing the requirements of such markings that can help you faithfully recreate such a skin.

    -EDIT-

    There is a document like that, here's a link!
    https://web.archive.org/web/2017063...015 Specifications and Procedures 11.1.16.pdf
    It's a very long technical document but I took a precursory look, and here's some pages that might be of interest to you!
    The Color Section Page 34 (The Appendix B it mentions is definitely of use to you as well)
    The Identification Section on Page 52
    -EDIT-

    Off the top of my head,

    -Rather than "Belasco School" the bus would probably say something more like Belasco District Schools, this would be a single line of text centered directly under the side windows. The font you used is also incorrect, from my understanding most buses use a lettering known as FHWA Series to which Roadgeek 2014 seems to be a faithful clone of.

    -The bus needs a specific identification number, I've seen a few different styles of these ID's but usually it's a 3 digit number that is placed on each side of the bus so it's identifiable no matter the viewing angle.

    -You missed an opportunity to add a white roof the bus. Many buses do have yellow roofs, but many buses on the west coast (IIRC where Belasco is) will paint their roofs white in order to regulate the temperature inside of the bus by reflecting away sunlight.

    -The Wentward city bus lacks a lot of stuff that would be standard on a normal school bus as it's a city bus. For example, there's no crossing guards, no stop signs, it lacks most of the lights a school bus would have, and the seating configuration is wrong. Although technically unrealistic I bet It would be interesting to see somebody build a school bus conversion for it

    Yeah, I don't see the point of this skin if we don't have these flashlights and a retractable sign

    I'm sorry, I'm not forcing you, I understand that you can do what you can do, and I didn't mean to offend you, I just love the attention to detail and flashing lights
