Wayne board honors two teachers who aided student after bus crashed into pharmacy
Summary
The Wayne Board of Education publicly thanked teachers Kathy Tucker and Robert Vogle for assisting a student and the bus driver after a district school bus crashed into a pharmacy in late December; board members praised their quick thinking and calm response.
The Wayne Board of Education on Jan. 16 publicly recognized two district teachers, Kathy Tucker and Robert Vogle of Scot Kfax Middle School, for their response after a Wayne school bus crashed into a pharmacy before the winter break.
The presiding speaker said Tucker and Vogle “stepped up when your help was needed most” and noted their “calm presence, clear-headed decision-making and willingness to go the extra mile.” The board said the teachers—who were driving to work when they saw the crash—helped ensure the safety and care of a student and the bus driver at the scene.
Board members who spoke at the meeting said they had seen widely circulated video of the crash and praised the two employees as examples of the district’s values. One member said the teachers “went up to that bus without even thinking anything else,” and thanked them for prioritizing student safety.
The district did not provide additional operational details about the crash during the recognition. The board’s formal remarks concentrated on the employees’ actions and on thanking staff across the Wayne Township Public School District for their service.
