Monday Morning Roundup

  • In North Carolina, a student's death prompted legislators to introduce a bill allowing stop arm cameras.
  • In Indiana, a school bus driver has been charged with felony neglect for not stopping teenage students from terrorizing a female rider. The driver denied knowledge of the abuses.
  • A school bus monitor is the latest New York lotto millionaire. The first person to see her winning ticket? Her bus driver.
  • An educator's association is standing up for a school bus driver who struck several parked cars. They say she takes responsibility for the crashes but was a "victim" of the side-effects of the prescription sleep drug she was taking.
What is it to be a school bus driver? Thanks to the Short Bus Chronicles, we found this great video slide show on all the roles school bus drivers fulfill besides driving the bus.

We want this to be an open forum for the hundreds of thousands of people that help get students to school safely every day. We want to hear what you think, what's going on at your facility and what solutions you've found. But, please, keep it civil. Just like on the bus, we'll have no tolerance for attacks or anything defamatory. We won't write you up, but we'll delete the comments right away. So don't bother. But if you have something to share, this is your place.

Thanks,
STN Editors
