Denton ISD places bus driver on administrative leave after near collision with kids exiting bus

Father whose son died from a ‘brain-eating amoeba' upset about the possible detection of the same organism in a different Arlington splash pad“What bothers me the most is he didn’t even stop to slow down or to see if any kids were OK. He just kept going, and that is unacceptable,” he said.“Denton ISD has been made aware of this incident, which occurred yesterday . The driver has been removed and placed on administrative leave while an investigation is conducted.

We want to assure our community that we take this very seriously, and the safety of each student in Denton ISD is always our top priority. Denton ISD has been in direct contact with the families of our students involved, and they seem confident in our solution.”He said he’d like to see the driver responsible fired and bus monitors added on all routes to prevent a possible tragedy.

“It very well could have gone the other direction and that has hit me like a ton of bricks. It hit me like a ton of bricks this morning. I closed my eyes this morning, and I saw my son in a casket, and it broke me down,” he said.
