Dallas County Schools Bus Driver Allegedly Leaves at Least 1 Cedar Hill High Student at Burger King

Dallas County Schools suspends bus driver who allegedly left at least one Cedar Hill High School student at a Burger King recently. Dallas County Schools, an educational agency that serves Texas, is investigating the incident, Carey Marin, a spokeswoman for the agency, said Friday. KDFW-TV (Channel 4) reported that students said the driver took a vote asking where they'd like to eat Thursday before dropping them off at a Burger King, but Marin said that they have not confirmed those details, and several others in the news report. Marin did confirm that Dallas County Schools suspended the driver. She also said they're pulling surveillance video from the bus to further investigate because there are conflicting reports about how many students were left. There were 40 students on the bus at the time of the incident and initial reports, she said, indicate that only one child was inadvertently left at a Burger King. It's unclear what Burger King the driver went to, though there's a location at 106 S. Highway 67 that's about one mile from the school, 1 Longhorn Blvd. Marin sent the following statement from Dallas County Schools: "This is absolutely unacceptable behavior and violates all our training.
