[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 574840, member: 455"] Problem is, the principal was already on site at the grocery store location with several buses manning that scene as those buses couldn't make their runs. However they were safely sitting in a parking lot. Notice went out via news, phone and text message. Though the message sent out bus numbers, 1 of the bus #'s was MY child's bus so it was inaccurate! They had a written up list of the kids on those buses (but it wasn't a transportation list it was one they composed from principal on scene). The did have cell phones relaying messages for that situation too. The accident one I'm not sure how they were being relayed. I do know that what was taking place was a tow truck was being brought in to get the bus out of the ditch. How do I know this? Well I didn't know at the time it was MY kid's bus only that it was a bus in the area. I was listening to police scanner by then. They were keeping it very hush hush over the air. The lady in the office told me that after this she is making sure that it can never happen again as she is demanding a list for just this purpose! I tend to believe her as she was in a pure frantic situation and her voice you could tell how upset and concerned she was. I have no doubt of the sincerity of this. Will it happen? I tend to think so as I'm not the only parent and there is BIG rumors (yes rumors aren't always believable) going around that are superintendent's head is wanted on a platter right now. At risk of being fired. First because he waited too long to call early dismissal and their were problems with buses in many schools, some were even inner city. Secondly that they need to have a better way of contacting parents as well as have a list of the kids on the buses at all times. [/QUOTE]
