Summary
Superintendent Dr. McNeely told the board that all students and adults involved in an earlier bus accident were safe, a small number were taken to hospitals as a precaution, and school counselors will be available to support students in the coming days.
During his Dec. 16 update to the Moorestown Township Board of Education, Superintendent Dr. McNeely addressed an upper-elementary school bus accident that occurred earlier that day and described the district's immediate response.
"All students and, adults involved in the accident are safe," Dr. McNeely said. He said a small number of students were taken to the hospital as a precaution and "are doing well." The superintendent thanked first responders and district staff for their "quick and thoughtful responses" and said communication had been sent to families and staff.
Dr. McNeely told the board school counselors would be made available to any student who needs support in the days after the incident and advised families to watch for changes in behavior and to direct questions to the superintendent's office.
Why it matters: The district's on-the-record update confirmed no serious injuries were reported on the public record, and the availability of counseling services reflects standard post-incident support for students.
What's next: Dr. McNeely invited community members with questions to contact his office. The board did not take a formal action at the meeting regarding the incident; Dr. McNeely said additional communications would be posted as appropriate.
