The Hyde Park community is still raising concern after new developments in a fatal crash on Washington Street that claimed the life of 5-year-old Lens Arthur Joseph back in late April. Boston Public Schools says bus driver Jean Charles had an expired school bus certification. "Who's driving our kids around?" one resident asked Boston 25 .
A petition on Change.org, initiated by a parent named Jennifer Heinke, is calling for the mandatory presence of school bus monitors on all school buses in the U.S. to enhance student safety. The petition, which has garnered over 1,000 signatures, was spurred by Heinke's concerns about the lack of supervision on buses, which she believes can lead to dangerous situations for children. The petition highlights incidents of bullying, fights, and accidents that could be mitigated with the presence of trained monitors. Heinke's call to action emphasizes the need for school districts to prioritize student safety by funding and implementing this measure across the country.
