CASTLE ROCK , Colo. — A relief school bus driver for Douglas County schools is no longer working for the district after he dropped students off at the wrong stop Monday afternoon, abandoning several children miles from their home.The male bus driver was substituting for the regular driver of Route #253 in Castle Rock when he failed to “follow protocol,” pulled the bus over short of the third stop on the 12-stop route, and abandoned more than 40 students in a parking lot.
A lot of the kids were saying, ‘I felt like I was being kidnapped.’ So, they started crying and were like, ‘Please stop! Please stop! You've missed my stop,’” Stark said.In an email to parents, Rich Cosgrove, chief operations officer for the Douglas County School District, said the driver should have called DCSD transportation dispatch during the trip. He confirmed to the parents that the driver is no longer employed with the district.
