Jeffco Transportation Stab concerned about the reaction of the district

A video that a school bus full of Colorado children is spent by a street shows that a discussion about guidelines is generated in Jefferson County. A fellow bus driver who must not be identified says that the video, which CBS Colorado received independently, is spread within the transport department of Jeffco Public Schools. Some employees say that a proper review has never been carried out.

None of the 19 passengers on the bus was injured last year when the vehicle drove an embankment on the Boulevard StageCoach near the Rodeo Fairground in Evergreen. The cameras mounted the Jeffco Public Schools for about 10 seconds on the bus bushow because the male driver had turned his eyes on a sheet of paper.

“My fear is that children will be injured,” the uns -identified driver told CBS Colorado.

Just a few days after the accident in April in April in April, the school district sent an email to the parents in which the transport services completed their review after the effect, and found that the bus driver was distracted by wild animals, was spent on the soft shoulder towards the dam and that he carefully controled the bus to prevent it from rolling over.

An accident report by the Colorado State Patrol, which was called to the scene by witnesses, states that the driver deviated to the left to avoid an moose. An internal crash report for the school district says the same.

None of the reports raised at the time, which the driver was distracted from the paper sheet at the time, and a careful review of the video shows that the driver was already on the right of the street before he went out to the left and in the Bösche.

“The report almost seemed as if it were a superstar to rave to miss an moose and keep the children safe when the bus took off the street,” said the driver.

CBS Colorado asked Trevor Byrne, former bus driver of Jefferson County and former President of Jeffco Transportation Union to his thoughts on the video and the answer. He believes that more evaluation was required. He says that Jefferson County once hired every incident in front of an accident examination committee.

“With every accident, no matter how big, how big. There were different classes of accidents, depending on damage or injuries, they would determine whether it was avoidable or no longer unanimous, and depending on the result that the result would be disciplinary measures,” he said.

Jefferson County officials say that the guideline was updated just a few months before the accident, which was recorded on video. After the protocol, the terminals and a trainer only have to be involved in a review.

They say that the driver seemed to read a route sheet or instruction that was a standard protocol for many years.

In an official explanation that you partly say: “The camera recordings clearly show the driver, who looks at a piece of paper with a new stop address or instructions at the time of the incident, which makes the driver to be distracted irrefutable.” They continue to say: “We appreciate our bus drivers and their training. If accidents take place, we take appropriate measures, in this case increased security training for our driver; they had no other incidents.”

A district spokesman says that the district is currently updating tablets on their buses to provide rare navigation to drivers, and are regularly checked as part of their normal minutes and will be carried out again this year.
