Edmonton police say a school bus full of children was not the intended target when it was pepper-sprayed during an altercation earlier this week.

The bus carrying 16 elementary students from Holy Cross Academie Internationale was parked on a street in the city’s southwest on Monday afternoon when two vehicles drove by and an occupant in one of the vehicles deployed what appeared to be pepper spray.

One student told CTV News Edmonton that two fellow students were vomiting. A spokesperson for the Edmonton Catholic School District said most of the students suffered irritated eyes and one child had a nosebleed. Debbie Hunter, the director of student transportation services at Edmonton Catholic Schools District, praised the bus driver for prioritizing the children’s safety, even though she was also feeling the effects of the spray herself.

Investigators said the bus wasn’t purposely targeted and it was just caught in the crossfire during an altercation between two other parties. They said they don’t have anyone in custody in relation to the case.

Toronto school board could cut jobs, end some busing after funding cutsCanada's largest school board says it may have to eliminate jobs, some programs and end some student busing to address a multimillion-dollar funding gap created by provincial cuts. The TDSB is targeting students and employees yet leaving non academic 'social programs' untouched. Apparently the TDSB believes that an academic education is secondary to pushing agendas. I am sure their equity initiatives will survive along with all other special interest SJ initiatives that are ideologically-driven instead of related to actual student achievement. How many superintendents are being let go? Facilitators?
