(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - i want to let you know that today friday the 22nd of jan. my son was waiting on the bus and we had the door open and he was outside and he had forgotten the grab his backpack so he step in for a minute. to get it and the bus did not stop to pick him up. apparently it was a sub-bus driver cause the regular bus driver stop especially when the door is open. i don't have the gas to take him to school when this happens. i am a single mother and barely have the gas to get to work never the less to take him to school when the bus driver does not stop by the house to pick him up. the bus driver just flew past, and my son was ready to go to school. if this happens again and nothing is done about it i will go to the school board about this. all he was trying to do was get his book bag and get back out there. the bus driver picked up the rest of the kids but did not get my son. and it was sprinkling outside. if it is raining out i will not send my son out till the bus gets there. so when there is a sub-bus driver they need to stop especially when the door is open. i will be writing a note to the school on monday about why my son was in school today.
