it's not his fault.
It was his fault. There was mayhem on that bus, he lost control of those students, he operated the bus in an unsafe manner. Children were crying out to him that there was a beat down in the bus. He is charged with the safe operation of that vehicle. The bus driver stated that, "he did not know there had been a fight on the bus". The chaos, the yelling and the frenzy that occurred right behind him and that should have been enough for the bus driver to become aware of the situation and take control of his vehicle.
According to Tommy Crosby, the district's executive director of support services, "the driver failed to take attendance, failed to keep control of the bus, and failed to follow a seating chart that requires boys and girls to sit on opposite sides. Bobbie Engelhardt, coordinator of transportation, told the board that she immediately met with Cosenza and they began watching a security video, which revealed an out-of-control bus."
