OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha father wants the district to explain how his 5-year-old daughter could have been left on a school bus instead of being taken home.
Puol Nuor called police and the Omaha Public Schools transportation department after his daughter, Nya, still hadn't been dropped off by the school bus Monday afternoon. He learned that the kindergartner had been locked inside a bus in a parking lot about 9 miles away.
A school district spokesman says Nya's bus driver, who wasn't identified, has been placed on administrative leave while authorities investigate.
Nuor says his daughter has cerebral palsy, a feeding tube and selective mutism. She's now afraid to ride the bus.
Nuor says Nya stayed home from school Tuesday, and he took her there Wednesday.
