Prosper school trustees hired a second firm to investigate how the district handled allegations that a bus driver sexually assaulted two elementary-aged girls...
Parents were outraged that district administrators didn’t notify them of incidents involving a bus driver.
The school board decided to hire another firm to conduct the investigation after criticism that the initial firm was also representing the district in a lawsuit filed by the girls’ parents. The suit alleges that Prosper officials didn’t do enough to protect the kids who were being abused regularly by a school bus driver. That former employee has since died.
One mother said her daughter rode the same route driven by the accused bus driver last year and now sees a pattern of unexplained behavior. The News is not naming her because she suspects her daughter was a victim of sexual abuse. “However, we can unequivocally say no district employee covered up anything related to this incident,” she said. “A person violated the innocence of two children and that person was swiftly dealt with by Prosper ISD and the Collin County Sheriff’s Department.”
