Canyon ISD is looking into how a sleeping student was left on a bus.
The district says in a statement that last week a student fell asleep on a bus and was not found until the bus returned the bus facility.
They also say that once found still on the bus the student was returned to school and the parent was notified.
The district’s full statement:
“Canyon ISD addressed a bus related situation which occurred last week when a student fell asleep on the school bus and did not exit with the other students at the campus. The bus returned to the Canyon ISD bus facility with the student asleep on board. Immediately upon learning of the student’s presence on the bus, the student was returned to the campus, the parent was notified, and an investigation began into the circumstances.
Providing a safe and secure environment for students is one of the highest priorities for Canyon ISD. The District has procedures in place designed to prevent this situation. We have already implemented corrective action with those involved and are taking additional steps with other staff to ensure a similar incident is not repeated.
Out of respect for the family, and due to state and federal privacy laws, the District will not disclose any further information or make any additional comment concerning this matter.
