Update: Incident involving Shelby Eastern Schools ( Waldron Campus) Bus #5.

An incident occurred earlier in the week where a SES bus pulled out in front of traffic on Route 9 near Wilson’s Corner.

This was well documented on Social Media, and other forums as well. Many people reached out to the School Superintendent and Transportation Director (including us) to look into the situation.

We got a reply from Superintendent Hitchcock over the situation.

“Good evening,

We treated yesterdays incident with our standard accident protocol response, even though thankfully, there was not an accident.

We pulled the driver from the route so we could have time to invesitage the comments on social media and compare them to the actual events that occurred. We interviewed the driver, the students, and the individual who made the original comment on Facebook to draw factual conclusions about the incident

We take the safety of our students very seriously and our drivers know our expectations. Our drivers are great people who care deeply about their students and would never intentionally put them in harms way. They are however human, and capable of mistakes, just the same as anyone else driving a vehicle.

We cannot discuss or share what or if any disciplinary action was taken against any of our employees.

Thanks again for sharing your concern. Have a good evening*

Not knowing the outcome from the end of the superintendent is not uncommon and is a standard practice not just within the school, but just in general.

I’m sure we will hear what the outcome was in the coming weeks and days as word comes around. 

We also are very glad that no one was hurt, and that we hope that this is a lesson for everyone to drive carefully and defensively.

Safety Alert: Needler's Fresh Market
__________

This man ⬇️⬇️
tried to get into my parked car with myself and my son it. We were alone waiting for my husband and daughter. He saw me at the last second because my windows are tinted and walked away but kept looking back. He pretended to walk up to Needlers but turned back around once he hit the door. The parking lot only has a few cars in it. My car is parked with no other vehicles around it. After looking at my car again he got into what looked like a tan tahoe a few rows behind my car and left. Just wanted to raise awareness in case this becomes a continuing issue with this man.

This man reportedly is living in his Tahoe at the Love's Travel Stops Saint Paul, IN location.
