This Chicago DUI lawyer posted here about the bus driver charged with a DUI. She even wondered why she was permitted to drive drunk in the first place with kids on the bus. Now comes breaking news that the local school board has moved swiftly to fire her and her supervisor.
March 18, Mt. Prospect, Il
School officials in Mount Prospect on Thursday fired the bus driver who was allegedly drunk while 50 students were aboard, and also fired the district's transportation coordinator, who failed to remove her from the route despite allegations of alcohol use.Looks like there should be a couple of job openings for transportation director and bus driver. Whatever is necessary to protect the children.
"It was something Betty did," said parent Ellen Loeb, whose sixth-grade daughter rode Burden's bus. "And to put it on Vince when he didn't get the proper training ... In my opinion the best thing would be to have Vince back in that job, if he's properly trained."
The board voted 6-1 to fire him.
