D.C. public school system leaders are conducting a review of its transportation companies after a charter bus driver crashed a school bus last week and was charged with DUI.
The District’s public school system is overhauling some of its safety protocols a week after a bus driver crashed a school bus of Murch Elementary students and was charged with driving while intoxicated.System leaders are conducting a review of the district’s transportation companies, a process that includes making sure drivers have the correct licenses and endorsements, checking drivers’ traffic records and ensuring vehicles have the proper equipment.
Nine students were treated at the scene of the crash for non-life-threatening injuries, police said in a statement after the accident. A total of 44 children were on the bus. D.C. public school officials said one staff member was also injured and sought medical care. Lishinski’s son hit his head on a window during the accident, but “he seems physically okay.” And although it seems unlikely that something similar will happen on future bus trips, “I don’t feel great about putting my son on a bus for a field trip with them,” Lishinski said.
