Student On Board

By: Mr. Wilson on September 1, 2006
I always used to think it was an innocent accident when bus drivers left a student on board. Although I still consider it an accident -- albeit occasionally with tragic consequences -- I'm now more inclined to think of it as an act of negligence rather than an accident. Why? Because it happens all the time, and bus drivers (and others responsible for helping with buses) ought to know better. The latest such incident in Lincoln happened on Monday. LPS procedures require bus drivers and bus aides to check the bus to ensure this doesn't happen; they didn't, and it did. Checking the bus ought to be as automatic as stopping at railroad tracks. Why isn't it?
