Dear
MPSD Families,
At
approximately 1:50 PM, the Marshfield Police and Fire Department stopped
Marshfield Public School Bus #7 after reports of erratic driving along Rt. 139.
It appears, according to the Marshfield Police, that the bus driver
suffered a medical incident and after a thorough review at the scene, was
transported to the hospital for further treatment. There were no students on
the bus at that time and no reports of any injuries.
The
bus had just concluded the route for the Martinson Elementary School and was
heading to Marshfield High School for the next route. A replacement bus
with a new driver completed the high school and middle school afternoon routes.
Prior
to the Martinson run, the same bus was reported to have hit a street sign as it
was concluding its route for the Governor Winslow School. Once contacted, the school
reported this event to the bus company, the district’s transportation
department and the Marshfield Police who were, at that time, already
investigating the matter and were with the bus.
If
your child rides Bus #7 and you have any questions or concerns, please feel
free to contact your child’s school principal.
Sincerely,
Thomas
Miller
Asst.
Superintendent of Business & Finance
&
Transportation Director
