FRYEBURG, Maine — The MSAD 72 school board will bring in outside legal counsel to examine its transportation-related processes following an incident in which a disabled student was temporarily missing while being driven to her special-education school.
During the Dec. 8 meeting’s public comment period, the child’s foster mother, Kate Joy, delivered an emotional, detailed account of the Dec. 3 incident. The van company First Student was supposed to bring the girl to a special-needs school in Monmouth, Maine, which is west of Augusta, but instead of arriving at 9:10 a.m., the girl arrived at 12:40 p.m. The driver apparently drove to Lewiston. Joy said the driver spoke no English.
