Honestly, I was shocked by what happened,” he remarked.
No injuries were reported in the incident, which occurred after Hawthorne Middle School in Townsend had let out and the bus was dropping students off in nearby Ashby. Ashby police are seeking a summons for the driver, a 64-year-old Ashby man, said Chief Derek Pepple in a statement.
Dee Bus Services confirmed on Wednesday that the driver, who has not been publicly named, is no longer employed by the company.
The contractor had previously stated that they “have no tolerance for this alleged behavior” and were cooperating with the investigation.
Morgan stated that “the bus driver went too far” in the incident, in which, according to the video, he pulled the bus over, asked the student to move, and when the student did not comply, put his hands on the student.
The student appeared to lose their balance in the aisle, and the driver maintained contact, according to Morgan.
It ended with the driver “on top of the student.” Morgan said the only reason for an adult to put their hands on a student would be for safety concerns, and “it did not look like the student’s safety was being threatened.”
He has spoken with the student's father, who “was extremely upset, and rightfully so.”
Amanda-Lee Gross mentioned that her two daughters, who were driven by the same man for years, would often tell her about the driver pulling over because of kids being rowdy. She said she believes parents should also hold their children accountable.
“I’m mainly concerned for the bus driver, because he literally has to stop, and that’s really, really distracting, and if kids are doing things in the back of the bus that they are not supposed to be doing, that could cause an accident,” Gross said.
But Morgan said that a student’s behavior is not an excuse for putting hands on them.
“If the way kids were behaving was creating such an issue, the bus should have turned around and come back to the school and let the building administration handle it,” he said.
