From the Paper:

"The school failed to protect the child from harassment. It was brought to the administration's attention and nothing was done. Once students are on their buses, they might be off of the physical premises but they are still the responsibility of the school. After the bus pulls out of the school parking lot, the bus driver is in command. But, as many educators are well aware, drivers often need the support of school administrators in getting their passengers home safely."
