Schoolbus Safety – Personal Security and Unauthorized Boarding Fatality File

Sheriffs Patrol School Bus Routes Near U.S.-Mexico Border After Illegal Migrants Try to Board

Sheriffs are patrolling routes in San Diego County after migrants who entered the country illegally attempted to board school buses.

In the Jamul-Dulzura Union School District, migrants attempted to stop a school bus, forcing it to maneuver around them.

The following day, on August 28, border agents arrested six people after almost two-dozen attempted to board a bus carrying schoolchildren, prompting the driver to intervene.

Nicole Cardinale told Fox 5 that her eight-year-old son described the encounter to her, calling it “really scary”.

“He said these adults – they weren’t kids – had backpacks on and they were trying to get on … He said there were a lot of them,” she said.

Liz Bystedt, Superintendent of Schools for the Jamul-Dulzura Union School District, told parents that school bus drivers have now been ordered not to stop if waved down by migrants.
