Chief Operations Officer Vance Varner described to the district’s board of directors, during its regular voting meeting, an incident that occurred on a school bus in which an elementary student was taken to the hospital after a fire extinguisher was accidentally engaged and emptied.
After emergency crews arrived on scene, they found the pin of the fire extinguisher had wiggled loose and that the extinguisher did not have a plastic retaining strap to hold the pin in place.
