McLendon Elementary School Bus Driver Fired
Parents at the school filed a complaint after the bus driver did not drop off their children at the bus stop.
A school bus driver who missed two McLendon Elementary School kindergartners at the end of her run on the first day of school has been fired.
According to a story in the Atlanta Journal Constitution:
The school system hadn’t disciplined the driver in the days after the Aug. 13 incident, and they were demanding action. They said the administrator ignored them. “He was more concerned that I had his personal contact information rather than the issue at hand,” Blackwood said, “and he never got back to me on that.”
