[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, all the special needs buses have A/C. If they don’t, they are pulled out of service.

Second, that time of day, the student is most likely middle school, so this isn’t a tiny child.

Unless the student’s IEP states that the attendant MUST sit beside the student, the student can request that the attendant sits elsewhere on the bus. This doesn’t mean that the student is ignored, but that his/her independance is respected.

There is a “last” student/stop on every school bus every day.

The driver had to have been on the bus or who would have pulled the bus over. Also, the driver would be the person responsible for radio communications with the dispatcher and providing ongoing information to rescue.  (Had it been a regular bus without an attendant, of course CPR to student would take precedence after initial call)

So the attendant was giving CPR. they have same training as driver. What difference does it make.  For all we know, the driver and attendant were taking turns and the attendant was administering CPR when help arrived.

Some students on these buses are very fragile. The parents, medical, admins and the student make an informed decision about how they wish to live whatever lives they have. And sometimes a medical emergency happens at home, at school or in between.

It is very sad that a student died. We do not know if this is an entirely “unexpected” event, so don’t assume it had anything to do with riding a school bus.
