    You are told it is not the school problem, just drop kids off anywhere and let them walk, when the bus is going right by their house. So it will take the drivers a little longer on their trips but it is what they are paid for not letting the children have to walk and be hurt this way.

    I’m sure this lowlife has a record a mile long. Amazing how the system continues to let these people back out on the streets. Hopefully he gets what he deserves. Obviously there are NOT enough people in prison
