UNIVERSITY CITY, Mo. (AP) - A suburban St. Louis school bus driver has been suspended after a 6-year-old fell asleep in the morning and then wasn’t found until he failed to return home after classed ended for the day.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the search for the child began when his mother told police the boy had not arrived home from school about 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. School officials say the boy was found safe eight hours later at the bus terminal. The boy was a first-grader at Flynn Park Elementary in the University City School District.
The district said in a statement that Missouri Central School Bus Co. notified school officials that the driver has been suspended. The district has asked that the driver not be returned to the district.
