It is the school and the bus company who are the responsible authorities in this matter. By that I mean that they are the ones who set the policy, do the training and who are legally responsible for safe operation of the school buses. THEY support the driver.

Perhaps you were not aware of that support from the proper and responsible authorities for the driver -- for you did not mention it in your post.

Of course they're going to publicly support their driver.

The police department and the district attorney's office see things a bit differently though BASED upon interviews with kids who were on the bus and parents who were outside of the bus and who had a clearer view of the situation.

I am NOT saying this girl deserves aa pass or that she did nothing wrong. I am saying I believe this driver handled this situation improperly from the get go.

One of the things I think they need are shoulder radios. Drivers are having to turn their backs and go back to the front of the bus to call for hekp.
