Should This Bus Driver Have Been Forced to Resign?!
I can’t imagine the presser and stresses of being a bus driver now a days. Unfortunately for this driver, things got a little carried away and now she will be looking for a new job.
A bus driver in Ohio was forced to resign over the weekend after a video of her absolutely lighting up students goes viral.
I understand as an adult you cannot talk to kids the way she did in this video, but at what point do we have to start looking at the kids and their parents again?
Here is the video that got the driver in hot water:

It all started because one student allegedly sprayed some perfume, the driver claims to be allergic to it. As you hear and see, the bus driver has clearly had to deal with this smell a few times before. She begins yelling as the student claims she didn’t do anything.
Amherst Superintendent Mike Molnar told the news that the situation is under investigation and the student that sprayed the perfume has been identified and will face some punishment.
Here is the letter that went out to the families in the district.
Dear Amherst Parents,
This evening, I received a video circulating on social media of a bus driver using inappropriate and offensive language towards students. The behavior exhibited by the bus driver is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. I have accepted the bus driver’s resignation effective immediately and the incident will be fully investigated. The actions of the bus driver do not represent the values and standards we uphold as a district and do not reflect our commitment to providing a safe, caring, and compassionate educational environment.
Moving forward, our Transportation Department will review its procedures to make sure we are handling situations appropriately for the safety of our students. The district will also continue to support our bus drivers with proper training and professional development.
As Superintendent, I will continue to focus my energy and efforts on creating a positive and safe environment for all students and staff. I believe that open communication and constructive feedback from our community help us create a stronger and more supportive environment. Thank you.
