A Kentwood High School student died after being found unconscious on a school bus.
It happened around 8 a.m. at Mattson Middle School. The King County Sheriff’s Office said that the student was found unconscious after getting on board. Police and paramedics tried to save the student but they died anyway.Mattson Middle School parents say they only heard from the District this morning when they got a text around 8 a.m. “The text message said there was a medical emergency and the students are safe,” said Khumar, whose daughters attend Mattson Middle School.
“He thought that somebody was on the floor and they were doing CPR,” said Khumar. “I saw a lot of police in the morning and the fire trucks and stuff so I was kind of scared.” Parents believed they should have been told sooner that a student died, as it happened while their kids were walking into school.
