A school bus driver is suspended while a local sheriff's office investigates claims one of the driver's adult daughters brought a gun on the bus.

Washington County school officials say it all started Wednesday morning in Plymouth when a student used profanity against the bus driver.

Wednesday afternoon during pickup, officials say the driver allowed one of her adult daughters to bring a gun onto the bus. They say the driver was suspended, and charges will be filed against the driver's daughter. School officials say the student involved is now suspended from riding the bus.

To be for real......did you not read the entire thread? We were talking about the entire Washington county system. It is a joke and when parents try to take action we are shot down and ignored. That is why these positions should be elected. So if there is a problem we the people can vote them out!!! We cannot fire Dr. Walker....but I wish we could.

The school superintendent had no way of knowing that this was about to take place. I'm sure that some of you are just upset that Mr. Walker holds this position. Mr. Walker is not a fortune teller. So how is he responsible for this incident?

To Vickie...excellent I agree with you 100%. I am tired of having my child exposed to this. With a school board that is absolutely worthless, nothing will get better. We have a superintendant that is making over a hundred thousand a year and should be fired. I believe the school board should be elected positions like many other states, just goes to show how far behind NC schools are.
