Stop the Bus
My sources are telling me tonight that the Franklin Township School Board is recommending that Philip Leslie, the bus driver arrested for operating a bus with a blood alcohol content level of 0.22 be terminated.
Leslie was charged with four counts, including felony neglect of a dependent and operating a vehicle with with a BAC of above 0.15 with a minor passenger in the vehicle.
Sources also say at the time Leslie was operating the bus, he had carried more than 100 children and it was described as a chaotic situation from the moment he got on the bus and the district wants to make an example of him.
If I were the school district, I would be working very hard to settle any possible litigation by parents.
Ironically, there is a public meeting tomorrow night at seven with the school district and Drug Free Marion County on the subject of underage and binge drinking.
