It's not just evil Republicans such as Mitch Daniels who like the outsourcing option:
Indiana University officials are considering whether to hire a private company to take care of about 600 school vehicles used on the Bloomington campus.
That could be the first step toward also outsourcing other university operations as suggested by some members of the school's Board of Trustees.
We interviewed a school board candidate last week who raised an interesting issue: Why is the Fort Wayne Community Schools board in the transportation business? Could money, maybe a lot, be saved if the school buses were run by a private company? Both excellent questions.

But before you go to far with that, look where it's being done elsewhere. Here in New York, school buses are mostly contractor-operated. They also tend to drive 50 mph in 30 mph zones and drop children off at the wrong stops. In other words, you get what you pay for.
