Because this incident involves both a student and staff, we are unable to comment on the specifics of this incident as it pertains to either the student or staff involved. |
It's a state requirement that students 5 and over have to attend kindergarten. |
It's been vacant for a number of years now and not been used for a number of years. We've done a fairly extensive evaluation of the building, and it's not appropriate to turn it into additional offices or rooms or a community center. |
Some other children assured the bus driver that they could take the child home. |
The procedure that's outlined in our transportation manual is that bus drivers may drop off students, pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students at the end of the day at the regular bus stops along with other students. They are not required to stay and wait for parents or guardians before dropping off their students. |
