MIDDLEPORT — In regard to the Meigs Local School District bus accident Thursday morning in which the bus, driven by Yvonne Moore, struck a utility pole in Middleport, Dean Harris, transportation supervisor, said the reference to Moore having been “released from driving a bus” following an earlier accident, was inaccurate as reported in The Daily Sentinel.

He said at the time of the other accident, which he thought took place in May, she was off work for a few days due to an injury, but that she drove “all last year and this year.”

The information in the story was an apparent misunderstanding of the word “re-employ” as used in the agenda item at Tuesday night’s meeting of the Meigs Local Board of Education, which stated “we bring back on the floor the tabled motion from the August 28, 2012 board meeting and re-employ Yvonne Moore as a bus driver on a continuing contract as recommended by Dean Harris, Transportation Supervisor.” The board members voted unanimously to re-employ Moore.
