Stephanie Boyd of New Hampshire faces years in prison for a collision last year in which she downloaded an app on her phone while driving and crashed into a tree. Three students were injured.
Tiffanie Brown of Merrimack, New Hampshire, allegedly directed her 5-year-old son through checks of the reverse and brake lights, and he shifted the bus into reverse, causing it to drive backwards and into a building. She is charged with child endangerment and reckless conduct.
The New Hampshire company transports about 1,800 special-needs students daily and has been using Navman Wireless’ technology since 2005. CEO Garrett Scholes tells SBF that it has helped to improve driver management, verify drivers’ timecards and verify drivers’ whereabouts in the event of a parental dispute.
The boy, who has special needs, falls asleep on the way to school, and the driver and aide discover him after returning from lunch about 30 minutes later. They are placed on administrative leave and terminated the next day.
