Supreme Court of Ohio - Case No. 2014-0727 Stephanie Watts et al. (including Three Rivers Local School District) v. Amber Sallee et al.
What Are Bus Drivers' Obligations When Dropping Off Students?
Stephanie Watts et al. (including Three Rivers Local School District) v. Amber Sallee et al., Case no. 2014-0727
First District Court of Appeals (Hamilton County)
ISSUES:
Does lawsuit against school district involving student who exited a school bus and was injured after the bus driver had traveled further along the bus route encompass the operation of a motor vehicle?
Does a school bus driver violate state law when the driver continues on the bus route after child runs off without permission without reaching a place of safety on the side of the road where the child lives?
Does a violation of the statute prohibiting bus drivers from starting the bus until a child is in a safe place on the child's residence side of the road involve negligent supervision of a child rather than negligent operation of a motor vehicle?
