I have been driving a School Bus for the same company for over ten years a week and a half ago I had an incident on my bus where several children where asked to sit in their seats properly, a couple of minutes later the same youth started to throw things, in a point of frustration I asked a question as are you retarded I regretted it as soon as I said it and apologized as the student left the bus the following morning I again apologized o nit only the student but to all of the students. On returning to base I was approached by our site manager and was advised the company (Iron Range bus lines of Thunder Bay)had been told by the Keewatin and District School board manager that I was not to drive school children,the base manager dis say that I would still be able to take charters this move has significantly reduced my salary to ZERO.in the mean time I have apologized to the parents who feel the suspension is to harsh. Your comments please. Dennis
