UPDATE: Bus Driver Cleared Of Erratic Driving Allegation: Official

NEW HAVEN, CT —After reviewing video and speaking to witnesses, police, and school officials found that the driver of a bus carrying around 20 students home from Ross Woodward Classical Studies Interdistrict Magnet School was not driving erratically.

"No evidence has been found to support the allegation of erratic driving made in regard to a school bus transporting students home yesterday afternoon," Patch was told in an email Friday afternoon.

Initially, New Haven Public Schools' spokesperson Justin Harmon said in a news release Thursday, that police were investigating after stopping the bus for erratic driving. But after viewing the video, he explained that not only was the driver found not to be intoxicated, nor suffering from a medical episode, the video shows "the driver proceeding calmly though students were causing a disturbance."

Police released the driver at the scene to drive back to the bus yard, Patch was told.

Ross Woodward is a PreK to 8th grade school located at 185 Barnes Ave.

And, investigators found that, "the allegation was made during a 911 call placed from inside the bus."

After the stop by police, who were responding based on the 911 call, parents were contacted, and most picked up their children from the scene. Though one student whose asthma was triggered was taken to the hospital as a precaution, Harmon said.
