Castle Rock Parents Demand Answers After Substitute Bus Driver Stranded 40 Children at Cemetery

Following a traumatic incident in which forty children from Clear Sky Elementary were left at Cedar Hill Cemetery in Castle Rock, miles from their homes, a school bus driver in the Douglas County School District was fired. According to KDVR, the school system and local police are still looking into the specific reasons why the substitute driver allegedly skipped scheduled stops on Monday, became irate, and forced all of the students to leave.

When the bus driver was allegedly screaming and driving erratically prior to the surprise drop-off, several youngsters were left to face the falling night and a chill that went straight to their bones. Several parents have come forward to voice their amazement and disgust over the occurrence. One parent, identified as Stark, told KKTV, “My kids were left stranded and abandoned on the side of the road at night, and a stranger brought my kids home.”

According to an email acquired by KKTV, the Douglas County School District has confirmed that an investigation is in progress, including a review of onboard video footage. The district is taking the incident seriously, but more information is still to come. Castle Rock Police are also heavily involved in the ongoing investigations, which shows how seriously the incident is being handled at several public service levels.

Now, Stark and other parents are calling for the release of the bus’s camera footage and full explanation of the occurrence. They are also adamant about standing up for their kids, who displayed incredible bravery in a terrifying circumstance. “The kids have been really brave throughout this, but we also have to be their voice, They’re little, and we’re gonna do whatever we can to get to the bottom of it,” Stark stated, according to Denver 7. The Castle Rock Police Department has promised to release the video once the investigation is complete, giving the public a better understanding of the events leading up to this concerning occurrence, but the community is still waiting for further information.
