School Bus Drivers Punished For Praying After Child's Death

HOUSTON (KTRK) — Houston ISD bus drivers came together to support a coworker and to protest a move by the school district. On December 16, a 12-year-old girl was struck by a car as she walked home from school in north Harris County. She would later die from her injuries. She was the daughter of an HISD bus driver, whose coworkers rallied around her.

Bus driver Cynthia Cormier said, “From a parent’s point of view and from a grandparent’s, prayer is the answer.”
