An OPS bus driver is out of a job after being caught on video using his cell phone behind the wheel with students on board.
OPS spokesperson Monique Farmer told WOWT 6 News: “We were made aware of the incident this morning. We take the safety of our students very seriously. STA has taken immediate action to ensure this bus driver will no longer drive for Omaha Public Schools or the company.”
The driver was employed by Student Transportation of America who made the decision to terminate his employment. All drivers are required to sign an agreement they will not use cell phones while behind the wheel of a school bus.
The driver has not been identified.
