NAPERVILLE, Ill. — A suburban Chicago bus company has fired a driver who threw a 13-year-old girl off a school bus because she didn’t have permission from her school to take a different route. First Student says the driver violated company policy and was fired Monday. The company says the driver should’ve pulled over in last week’s incident and radioed dispatch instead. The girl, a student at Scullen Middle School in Naperville, had a note from her mother to ride the bus. When the driver demanded a note from the school and she couldn’t produce it, he dropped her in a subdivision about three miles from school. The girl used a cell phone to call a family friend, who found her and drove her to school. ______ Copyright 2009 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
