Seems to me it's being blown out of proportion.
Why? I think you are underestimating the PITA factor of this little stunt.

Even if they did the shraeders only, these are school busses, which are subject to rigorous safery inspection standards. At a minimum every single one of these 144 tires will need to be dismounted, valves replaced, tires carefully inspected for damage inside and out, then reinstalled and rebalanced.

They arent going to just screw the internals back in if they even have them, and air them up. For one the valves are probably all over the parking lot.

The labor alone for all that will cost enough, let alone if they have to replace tires cut by rims. That also assumes the bus facility has the maintenance area right there as well.

It seems funny until you have to clean it up
