I am currently drafting a formal letter to the school board to request a dedicated time slot for public comment regarding these bus safety concerns. The petition data is being compiled into a briefing document so that district officials have a clear record of the specific routes identified as problematic.
June 1, 2017
The administration has acknowledged the volume of this petition and agreed to a meeting regarding safety protocols. I am currently drafting a formal proposal to outline the specific requirements for bus monitors. My next step is to present these requirements to the school board during the upcoming session.

Supposedly my kid's bus driver got the "best driver" award last year, which I assume is based on his driving skills and NOT on how the students on his bus behave. I cannot count the amount of times my kids got off the bus telling me stories of kids hitting others, stepping on other's belongings (backpacks,glasses,etc.). There was even an incident where a 5 year old (yes I said 5) pulled his pants down, showing his genitalia, and told girls to kiss it!!! This is absolutely unacceptable behavior, and if the driver can't handle it alone (which they obviously can't), something should be done!!!!

They say they can't afford paid bus monitors. I say they can't afford not to have them.

It took 5-10 minutes for a bus driver to notice my brother was knocked out on a Joshua ISD bus

My kids have been bullied on the bus one to many times. And having moniters on a bus could prevent that. One of these days a kid is gonna really get hurt by one of these bullies.

My grandson was seriously hurt on a Joshua ISD school bus. I don't want any child or their parents to go through what we had to go through.

Our kids need to be protected. Monitors are another set of eyes

Having a monitor on every bus would help with all the unnecessary bullying on buses !
