You are taking kids home after school and stop at your 3rd bus stop on the edge of town where some brothers (4th & 6th grade) are dropped off at an intersection and then walk a couple blocks to their house. When approaching the stop you notice a few older adults who you don't normally see there and seem to be engaging in suspicious activity a few feet away from the stop. What would you do?
Medley Judge (Possible solutions):
1. Keep students on the bus and don't stop at the stop. Alert dispatch and parents about situation and coordinate drop off.
2. Take the extra time to take students to their house instead of having them walk.
3. Keep students on the bus, alert dispatch/parents, return to school if you can't get ahold of family.
