Bus Safety Crisis in School District | Durham News

School bus safety is under fire in one district as parents and mechanics sound the alarm over deteriorating conditions and inadequate maintenance. A mechanic, responsible for 38 buses with minimal support, broke down at a school board meeting, highlighting the pressure and danger. In response, the district has brought in an outside law firm for a full audit, while the superintendent vows to act responsibly and transparently. With a year to fix things, families are anxious — especially after the mechanic resigned. Though procedures exist — including 30-day inspections, driver reporting, and backup buses — trust is eroding. The district promises updates as they await the review’s findings.
