Goshen school bus driver charged with DWAI

GOSHEN – A Goshen Central School District bus driver was arrested Monday morning after the individual failed a random drug and alcohol test administered by the district.
The driver, who district officials did not identify, was suspended pending an investigation.
The test was given between morning bus runs.
The district contacted the Goshen Village Police, who charged the driver with endangering the welfare of a child, driving while ability impaired and aggravated DWI with a child in a vehicle.
School officials noted that all bus drivers undergo background checks and fingerprint clearing at the time of hire as required by state law.  Random drug and alcohol tests are administered, unannounced, throughout the school year.
Superintendent Daniel Connor said the district’s “first priority is always the safety and security of our students and staff.”
