(c) No school superintendent, school committee, contractor, or school bus owner shall put into effect any school bus route which cannot be completed in the time allotted without exceeding posted speed limits.
(d) All school bus routes shall be reviewed by the local police chief of each city and town for safety hazards within ninety (90) days before the start of the school year.
(e) Any party may appeal the decision of a local police chief approving or disapproving any bus route or stop to the commissioner of elementary and secondary education who shall hold a hearing as provided in § 16-39-1.
