Letter About Bus Driver Was Ignored, Parent Says
- Share via
Los Angeles school board member Julie Korenstein said Friday that she is looking into a mother’s allegation that district officials ignored her complaint months ago about questionable behavior of a school bus driver arrested last week on charges of drunk driving.
Patricia Marhle said she complained to the former principal of Lorne Street Elementary School in Northridge about bus driver Harold Keith Lone, who arrived with his passengers more than an hour late on the first day of school.
Marhle said she wrote in a Sept. 18 letter that Lone got lost and stopped at a liquor store, where he left the children unattended for several minutes.
