[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child was on the bus; it was definitely a bad situation but she was/is fine.

In response to some specific points made- 
1) my child did call us and we picked her up, took her home to shower and didn’t make her go back.  Am sure she would have been allowed to use a school phone if she didn’t have her own.
2) I got an email that day 5/3 at 9:43 am from assistant principal Bryant with subject  “Bus 1113 incident at school this morning”. Am not sure why people are saying the school tried to hide the incident. Email was to “Westland Middle Recipients” which I assume included families of all Westland students.

I signed the petition and there are still big problems  to solve here.  The bus should absolutely have been taken out of service immediately.  But I wanted to clear up that misinformation.[/quote]

The MoCo360 article said the bus was taken out of service. Do you know that to be false?[/quote]

Sorry to be unclear- I don’t know if the bus was taken out of service but it definitely should have been! My kid wasn’t on the afternoon bus to report whether it was the same one later that day, that is, if the floors and seats where still slimy and sticky as stated by some posters here.[/quote]

Same poster here- I just asked DD. Apparently yesterday morning, Monday, enroute to school, bus alarm went off three times and the bus had
to stop briefly each time for an issue DD thought was “overheating”.  Maybe was a different bus , but if so, that’s also bad. No problems today (Tuesday). Will need to get more info tomorrow about whether they are now on a different bus.

Are you saying your DD was not on the bus OP was posting about? [/quote]

I think she means her child was on the antifreeze morning bus on Friday. On Monday the morning bus had to stop 3 times in response to an alarm. Usually it's always the same bus that does a student's morning route every day. The child's parent is not sure whether MCPS took the Friday bus out of circulation (they claim they did, but maybe they didn't) and the Monday bus was a different one, or whether the Friday and Monday bus were the same vehicle.
