A Denton ISD school bus driver is on leave after parents shared a video with the district showing that driver narrowly avoiding running over three children at a Prosper bus stop.

“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. However, due to the ongoing nature of this investigation, and since it involves the employment status of all involved, we cannot discuss any additional specifics.

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.
