Warning disturbing video: A child beaten, by other children, on a Framingham School bus

 This event took places 2 months ago according to the reporter from Channel 10. Someone on that bus recorded the beating and just last week sent the video to the press. It appears a few (school authorities) knew about this when it happened but never made it public. I would have never known anything about this unless I had seen it on Channel 10 and Fox 25. Evidently the bus driver did not stop the bus. Since the news report of last week, the superintendent issued the following statement:

"Framingham Public Schools is deeply concerned about an incident of violence that took place two months ago on one of our school buses. The safety and well-being of our students are our top priorities, and we are committed to ensuring a safe and secure environment for all students while they are in our care, including during transportation to and from school.

School and District Administrators worked directly with the Framingham Police Department to immediately hold students accountable for their actions with appropriate discipline while also providing safety plans for those who needed it. The District has and will continue to work with our transportation vendor to make sure our students are transported to and from school in a safe manner.

We take all incidents of fighting and violence seriously, and this has no place in our schools or on our buses. In addition to ensuring safety, students are held accountable with consequences in alignment with our Code of Character, Conduct, and Support.

Since the incident was reported, there have not been any more problems. Students involved in the incident continue to sit in their assigned seats on the school bus while Administrators check in frequently with the student, the bus driver, and transportation. There have not been any complaints reported, including this student. Of course, we will continue to monitor this situation as we have been for many weeks now."

It's worth reading what the laws and policies are regarding conduct and punishment. Both at school and on the bus. It's not that easy handing out discipline to kids who act out. I've learned much since this incident happened. It's given me a new prospective on FPS.
