Court Rules School Bus Driver Who Failed Drug Test Should Get Job Back

The driver on the bus goes puff, puff, puff…

How comfortable are you with a marijuana smoking bus driver bringing your kids to school? Students at a school in upstate New York are being forced to deal with it.

Cynthia DiDomenicantonio, a bus driver for the Shenendehowa School District in Clifton Park, was fired from her job for failing a drug test.

An Appeals Court however, decided the firing was “too severe a punishment”, and have ordered the school to reinstate DiDomenicantonio.

I have driven a school bus for 14 years. I will only say this once. SHE SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO DRIVE A COMMERCIAL VEHICLE EVER AGAIN!!!!

This is a sign of things to come with allowing pot. The government wants to get in an uproar over gun control, where are they when a school bus driver does drugs??? where are they???? they let the druggie go free....and the children are the pawns.

If you fail a drug test as a truck driver, you'll be looking for a new line of work. Why should we expect less with such precious cargo?

Meanwhile, my child cannot take an aspirin with him to school in case his headache lasts more than 4 hours without being suspended on drug charges...

6:43 wake up and get real. THC can show up in a drug test for 30 days. She should not have a job driving children or any commercial vehicle.
