The parents of 13 McKinney ISD elementary school students filed a lawsuit on Monday in Collin County District Court against Durham School Services L.P.,...
On Feb. 28, a school bus driver took students on a route “to which they and their parents did not consent,” the lawsuit says.
“The students were detained on the bus and taken on a route to which they and their parents did not consent,” the suit said. “Detention of the students and taking them on the route Ms. Doe chose was done without parental consent and without authority of law. Plaintiffs have suffered damages as a result of the fear, anxiety, and trauma caused by this incident.” The suit says children were also exposed to unsafe heat levels during the detour.
Jones Penepacker said some children were pouring bottles of water on themselves in an effort to try to cool down because they were “desperate” and “didn’t know what to do.” “Student safety remains our top priority, and we apologize for any concern or inconvenience caused by this situation,” the email said. “Durham is taking steps to correct it to ensure that all students arrive at their stops at the designated times, and is taking measures to rectify issues with the communications system.”
Jorrey said he was placed on a 13-minute hold. Jorrey said the two located the bus at Virginia Parkway and U.S. 75, after it had already turned around. When the operator came back on the line, he said he was told that the bus took a wrong turn and was returning to the normal route. The pair followed it the rest of the way back to their neighborhood, he said.“At first I thought he might be laughing, but then I realized that he was actually wailing,” Walker said.
In an email sent to parents the following day, Geoff Sanderson, chief accountability officer with McKinney ISD said the bus driver was new to her afternoon route for McClure Elementary and “mistakenly diverted from the route, which led to delays in students arriving at their afternoon bus stops.”
