Intentionally swerved at...

Where was it, Eden?

[Eden]

On Martin Luther King Way, about 1/2 block south of Cherry. It was one of the 1/2 length busses (good thing, if it had been longer she probably would have hit me)... now I know what they say about the kids on the short bus , but c'mon now the driver is supposed to know better than that....

[salsabike]

Wow, a special ed bus! Any bus driver needs to know better, but that's a double badness--those guys need to be able to manage their tempers and their judgment because they have to deal well with tough but vulnerable kids. Let me know if you need any help pursuing this through the school district.

Dare I suggest the police?

If the bus supervisor had hung up on you, you need to move up. You did the right thing calling the supervisor first. Follow the chain of command and just keep moving up until you get some satisfaction. Call the superintendent of schools. The supervisor should take this very seriously, and if he doesn't then you need to complain about him/her also. You can request to be put on the board agenda if all of this doesn't work. Pretty time consuming, but it may keep others from being put in the same situation. Let us know how it goes.

I'd put it in writing to the bus supervisor, too, with a CC to the superintendent.

Hey Eden, I just saw this. Anything new? I wonder if Cascade Bicycle Club collects info like this, or if their advocacy people can help . . . this sounds like inexcusable behavior for a school bus driver.

Good luck!

What a jerk! No if he/she were to hit you with the kids on the bus they'd probably feel like the biggest lame.
