Child School Bus Driver’s Under Scrutiny

A recent school bus accident that killed an 11-year-old boy and another accident striking an 84-year-old pedestrian have school officials evaluating their fleet drivers. No driver can have a squeaky clean driving record, but there shouldn’t be anything that makes one conclude their driving, based on past issues, would endanger the children or other pedestrians. While I think the effort is a good one, I don’t think the article sheds light on what convictions should keep a person from driving a school bus once they pass the standard qualifications.
