Broward Bus Workers Reassigned After Child Left On Bus
May 24, 2011
CBS MIAMI
PEMBROKE PINES (CBS4) – A Broward County bus driver and bus aide accused of leaving a 6 year-old autistic child on a school bus for roughly six hours have been reassigned to other duties pending the outcome of the investigation by the Special Investigative Unit.
The Dania Beach kindergarten student, Aiden, was found on his bus Monday afternoon hours after he was supposedly dropped off at school.
Reached Tuesday by CBS 4 News, Aiden’s mother Sofia says she is reluctant to put him on a school bus again and is considering whether or not he will complete the school year at Dania Elementary.
She says Aiden has attended the school for three months.

| Maybe I should send my friend down there. He left a regular ed. kid on the bus for 10 minutes between runs at a bus compound and was terminated. |

| Hope they do the right thing after the investigation. You think a kid on the bus in a yard for 10min is OK - I don't, termination is a light punishment. |

Myself included do not think it is OK. How some come to some other conclusion, especially those that hire drivers fired at other facilities but sack their own helps reveal the politics mentality involved with this issue. This issue may be a serious procedural and political error, and a mistake that I did not make during my 20-some years driving school buses. And no doubt ought be obvious by now that I would not somehow consider myself better than most the school bus drivers that have left a sleeping child, some 5,000 sleepers left on our nation's school buses every year. Although retired my employer is not done with me yet -- looking at several options for half-time work next year in the training specialties with this employer and making some paid presentations at a local college. Retiring for me is just more time to do what I like doing most, helping keep kids safe, as well as doing whatever I can to help ease hostile workplace environments. Some don't like my positions on some things, some do. I'm happy with it and find no logic that would support acting otherwise concerning this issue. (jk)
