Driver Demands Written Reason for Bus Certification
James Ross a 59 year old North Fairfield former state patrolman demanded a written explanation from the Huron County Board of Education after the board refused to certify him as a school bus driver in September. The board cited concerns over an illness last spring and agreed to state in writing that the decision stemmed from discussion and concern over the alleged illness. The district meanwhile certified two other drivers and reviewed a color blindness finding. Juvenile court activity in September rose with 138 hearings including delinquents and unruly cases.
