Let's Go to the Replay ...

A Tennessee school bus driver has been cited in a school bus crash the injured several students, VolunteerTV.com reports. None of the seven students that were taken to the hospital after the bus struck a pole, but questions remain, namely, why didn't the onboard video recorder record:

Loudon County Schools has suspended the driver until the schools investigation is complete, which will go forward without video from the camera installed on the bus. Questions remain why a memory card was not in place.

The other question. Why wasn't the driver wearing his seat belt?

"[He] was actually thrown from the driver's seat due to not wearing a seat belt. He was able to get back in his seat and get control of the vehicle and stop the bus," a state trooper said.

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,
