March 22, 2010 KAKE TV 10 NEWS A school bus driver is fired after leaving a special needs student on the bus the entire day.
13-year-old Chaton Stotts is autistic. His parents say they put him on a bus to take him to Pleasant Valley school at 7:00 a.m. Monday, but he never made it off the bus. Stotts takes medication which makes him drowsy, and he told his parents he fell asleep on the way to school.
Stotts reportedly remained on the bus for the entire day, without food, water, or his medication. His parents did not find out he had been left on the bus until he told them later that afternoon.
A spokeswoman for Wichita Schools confirms to KAKE News a student was left on the bus for the day. She says Durham immediately fired the driver. She also says the district is "extremely upset" over the situation, and glad Durham took immediate action.
