DENVER (AP) -- More Colorado school districts are using advertising signs on the sides of school buses to raise money.

Adams 12 Five Star Schools put its first ads on the outside of school buses last month,while Greeley's fleet has been carrying ads for a year.

According to the Denver Post, school districts are required to ensure that ads meet state regulations on size and placement. The rules were adopted in 1993 and other districts have been using ads for years.

Under plans for this year's state budget, schools don't face more cuts, but the funding per student is still about $600 lower than it was in 2009.
