Dinwiddie mom "livid" as back-to-school issues continue to affect her 5 year old [View all]

One Dinwiddie mom is “livid” that the bus driver shortage and food and water delays within Dinwiddie County Public Schools haven’t been handled, especially seeing as the district is now in its second month of the school year.

DCPS posted on Facebook Tuesday, asking parents to use the Versatrans app to monitor their kids on buses, to make sure their child brings a water bottle to school because there weren’t enough water bottles and to let them know their child’s menu may look a little different because of the supply chain interruptions with food products.

Mom Tiffany Griffith has been taking her five-year-old to Southside Elementary, saying the bus has been arriving after school starts.

Griffith helps one teacher she knows to take her 5 year old to the same school, and with tears in her eyes, said the driver forgot that child was on the bus Tuesday after school, so the child didn’t make it home until almost 6 p.m.

“The incompetence is just baffling,” she told 8News in an interview Wednesday. “He had no idea he was even left on the bus yesterday.”
