Stop the Bus...Save the Kids...Do Some Time in Saturday Detention

Student disciplined
after stopping out-of-control school bus

School bus driver falls out of seat

Amanda Rouse wasn't supposed to be on the bus with 40 elementary school students, but the high school student managed to stop the careening vehicle after the driver fell out of her seat.

And although the 15-year-old Marina High School student averted a possible tragedy, she is being disciplined by school authorities for being on the bus in the first place.

Rouse was sitting behind the driver's seat and pulled the emergency brake when driver Christine L. Graves fell out of her seat and down the stairs as she made the turn in Seaside about 8 a.m. Wednesday...

This from the San Jose Mercury.
