During a recent school district meeting, a concerned community member and parent raised serious allegations regarding bullying behavior by a school bus driver. The individual, who has been actively involved in the district's safety board and fundraising efforts, expressed frustration over the lack of response from district officials regarding their requests for a meeting with the superintendent.
The parent detailed multiple incidents involving the bus driver, including instances of harassment directed at students, including their own child. They highlighted a specific event where the driver allegedly pulled over the bus to make derogatory comments about a student, which was captured on camera. The parent emphasized the importance of the district's no bullying policy and called for accountability, stating that the driver's actions have negatively impacted their child's high school experience.
The speaker noted that despite their efforts to address these issues directly with the administration over the past three years, they felt unheard and dismissed. They urged the school board to prioritize the well-being of students and to take immediate action to address the allegations against the bus driver, reinforcing that the district is funded by taxpayer dollars and has a responsibility to ensure a safe environment for all students.
