HOUSTON – Aldine ISD school officials conducted an investigation after reports surfaced that one of the district's bus drivers suddenly dropped off a busload of students 10 miles away from the school.
According to reports, the bus was on its way to Compass Alternative School Monday morning, when the driver's wife called and told him someone had broken into their home. Apparently she was home alone with their 4-year-old grandchild at the time.
