Chronicle Staff Writer
The school bus accident that
injured 35 Old Town Elementary
School students on June 6 has
caused one teacher in the dty/county
school system to question
conduct on the school buses.
School officials, however, say
that student conduct on the buses
is not a major problem.
Annette Beatty, a first-grade
teacher at Southwest Elementary
School, said last Thursday that
the accident was not entirely the
fault of the 16-year-old bus .

it all on the bus driver.
"Even the (school) board
members, which disappointed me
more than anything, looked at

Miss Beatty was referring to .

"It's not the age of the bus

conduct of students and put some

we don't, we give them the license

All 35 students on the bus were

caused the driver to lose control.
The report says the driver had

Dr. Barbara K. Phillips, assistant
to the superintendent, said
that she does not fed that the sentiment
among school officials is
