Rockdale County Public Schools is investigating a black bus driver who allegedly made only white students stand on her bus.
“We certainly do take all allegations seriously and will give it the necessary time to completely investigate and find the facts of the situation,” the district said in a statement.
The district did not say whether the bus driver has been placed on leave during the probe. She has not been identified.
The investigation began after a picture circulated on social media showing children standing on a Rockdale school bus.
Parents told Channel 2 Action News they have complained about the driver for several weeks, and that minority students never have to stand on the moving vehicle.
"There is (available) seats to the right of the students, and only the white students are being made to stand up," parent Aaron Chase told Channel 2.
