Bus Driver, Attendant Fired

A D.C. special education bus driver and an attendant were fired for negligence after a 14-year-old boy was caught trying to force a 6-year-old boy to perform a sexual act in the back of a school bus, a school official said yesterday.

David Gilmore, the school system's transportation administrator, said the incident occurred Tuesday. He said the attendant allowed the two boys to sit together and left them alone while she went to the front of the bus to make a call on her cellphone.

When she went to check on the boys, Gilmore said, "she saw the 14-year-old had his pants down."

The older boy was referred to juvenile justice authorities.
