The Conroe Independent School District said an employee in its transportation department is no longer employed with the district following a video posted to social media appearing to show the employee striking a student on a school bus.
The district said they were made aware of the incident on Thursday.
“We are disturbed by this unacceptable behavior which is not representative of our hundreds of hard-working transportation staff,” the district said in a statement. “The individual is no longer employed by the District, and the Conroe ISD Police Department is completing their investigation with the expectation of pursuing criminal charges.”
