A Hamilton County school bus driver is off the job Tuesday night after dropping a kindergartener off at the wrong stop, more than a mile from his home. The driver told her supervisor the kindergartner told her to let him off the bus, but the child’s mother said the driver should have known better.
A spokesperson for Durham, which operates Hamilton County buses, said the driver of bus #402 did not follow protocol. We are told she does not have a future with the company.
Meghan Phillips said kindergarten was off to a good start for her son Tre, until Friday.
Tre rode the school bus home for the first time on Friday. Phillip’s husband waited for him at his designated bus stop, but Tre never showed up.
The driver dropped Tre off a mile and a half from the stop. The 5-year-old was wearing a tag with the correct bus stop information, but Phillips said Tre was confused and asked to get off early. She said he got off alone in a different neighborhood.
Tre started walking, trying to find his home. His dad found him thirty minutes later.
A Durham spokesperson said the company is investigating what happened and reviewing the bus footage. The driver, who was suspended, had previously given her two-weeks notice and is no longer with the company.
