To Remove as a School Bus Driver because she bullies and verbally abuses the kids.

We the Taxpayers of Berkshire County, MA request that Ann be removed as a School Bus Driver with the Berkshire County School System. She has a history of bullying the students on her buses. Just recently, two weeks in a row, she has bullied my 14 year old daughter, humiliated her and made her cry. She recently made her stay on the bus after all the other students got off. AND she popped the chip out of the camera! Please know that my daughter has done absolutely nothing wrong! She has been picking on her for some time. I have been told by other parents that this has been going on for years and that all the kids pray that they will not get her as a bus driver. There have been numerous complaints on this woman and yet she is still driving our children to school.

We stand up to Bully's IN the schools, we rally against Bullying, and should never have to deal with this issue coming from a School Bus Driver or any employee within the school system caring for our children. Because the system is failing our children, we need to stand up for them!

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many families have reached out to share their own experiences after seeing this started. This momentum belongs entirely to you because it shows just how much we refuse to let our children be treated this way. Thank you for stepping up to protect our kids when the system has looked the other way.

Wow! I read somewhere about a bus driver bulling a student, literally around the time Bart did the Anti-Bully campaign. So I was talking to 2 teenagers mind you both go to different schools, and 1 doesn't even take the bus anymore, and told them how I read about the bus driver. And at the same time they BOTH said "it was prolly ANN!!" WOW!! Yea time for her to go!!

I'm signing this petition, not because my kids are on the bus but because my daughter endured years of bullying in our schools. The bus is supposed to be a safe place and it is clear it is not. It's a shame the bus company is not taking these complaints seriously. Maybe they would if their children were at risk.

This is BART Jennifer. PLEASE would the parents of all the other children that have been bullied by her help me out! From what I understand, there are many! Why is nobody willing to get involved?? She always believes that the kids are "laughing at her"!??

Jamie would be the last child that I would ever expect to be disrespectful to an adult. This driver is wacked. She had to appoligize to Jamie last year for another incident.

We are having the same problem in the school district that my granddaughter lives in she's 5 years old and bus driver repeatedly shames her and bullies her along with many other children but for the moment it seems to be my little five year old granddaughter she comes home crying all the time she doesn't want to go to school and she doesn't want to ride the bus he embarrasses her and I don't know how to get to stop I have complained multiple times but for some reason he's still driving our kids to school
