La Salle-Peru High School investigating bus incident

Superintendent says driver was driving fast, playing loud music, according to reports

The main entrance of La Salle-Peru Township High school today. Under the master plan, the clock tower and auditorium will remain the same. Under the master plans, students and staff will not have to travel outdoors during the school day (for certain classes) to create a safer learning environment.

La Salle-Peru High School is investigating an incident that occurred Wednesday on the Route No. 2 bus, said Superintendent Steven Wrobleski.

“We are still waiting for my staff to be able to look at the video and talk to the students,” Wrobleski said, noting he would then piece it together with information from the bus company.

There were allegations the driver was playing loud music and going at a high rate of speed, Wrobleski said.

Wrobleski said there were no accidents or injuries reported. The driver no longer is working on La Salle-Peru routes.

In the future if parents have any concerns about the transportation of students they should contact the school and then the bus company.

“I want to give a lot of kudos to the bus company,” he said. “They have been absolutely phenomenal in managing and handling this. Both L-P and Johannes Bus Company put the safety of our kids being transported to and from school as our No. 1 priority.”
