    If this is a special need’s bus is there not a helper? Seem’s fishy someone is not doing their job. Who is going to protect these babies?

    Ok if this is going on why will the camras on the bus not be watched. This bus has ESE students on it that can not communicate I hope that this school does not let them down like so many others have. What is wrong with this school system taking classes from ese, nurses what else it seems like escambia county feels bothered by the needs of these children.

    You can make excuses all you what, my 4 grand kids were on that bus.
    They said the bus driver kept swerving the bus off the road trying to make them laugh..this is a lunatic.
    I just lost my grand daughter Sabryna Hughes Gilley on i-75 due to an idiot who decided to play games and stopped in the middle of the fog with his semi..she, her father and step mother are now dead 1/29/12..so all you bleeding hearts who think I want to loose 4 more grand children to an idiot, lets just say at their grave…you can make excuses for this idiot Dee Dee.
    She needs to be fired and charged with child neglect and endangerment..and her clown license pulled.

    Beulah Bus and that road is so thin in places. Wonder if another car was trying to pass or somthing. I’m sure the bus driver did not want to hit the pole:(

    Again people not watching the big school bus. The children on that bus are special in many ways and very lucky and happy to have such a great bus driver. Thank you Mrs Dedee for taking such good care of them.
