bused

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'taken to school in the american way?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'malibu's educational packages' is the wordplay.
'packages' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (the answer is 'packaged' within the clue).
'BUSED' is hidden in the letters of 'malibus educational'.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
