Greene school superintendent addresses recent bus incident
GREENE – At approximately 2:50 p.m. on Thursday, a Greene Central School bus traveling on New York State Route 206 near West Bainbridge had a mechanical malfunction, and school officials said no students were injured as a result of the incident.
According to Greene Superintendent of Schools Tim Calice, the bus was in the process of bringing students back to Greene when a mechanical issue caused the bus’s engine to billow smoke.
“The mechanical issue caused smoke/steam to billow from the engine area section of the bus,” said Calice. “The bus immediately pulled over.”
He said he and the school’s transportation supervisor immediately headed to the scene with a school nurse.
“Fire control was alerted and emergency personnel responded to the scene,” he added. “Students were evacuated from the bus in a safe and orderly manner, and evaluated.”
Calice said another bus was sent to the scene to pick them up and continue on with the students, and that no one was injured.
He said students did arrive home between half an hour and 60 minutes later than normal, but all parents of those students who have a working phone number were personally called with an explanation.
“We offer our appreciation to the emergency responders who got to the bus quickly,” said Calice. “Also, our driver and monitor who handled the incident with great care for our students, and a high degree of professionalism.”
“We are fortunate to have such a caring community.”
He said the school hopes that sharing this information will limit the spread of misinformation.
“If you have questions please contact the district office and do not rely on information being published from unofficial sources,” he said.
