5 more bus drivers on way out for DUIs

The Columbus Dispatch - Local/State: "Columbus Public Schools have asked private companies that provide student bus service to remove five drivers from district routes, a district spokesman said yesterday.

The drivers were found by a Dispatch investigation to have had driving-under-theinfluence convictions.

The district also has asked its four private bus vendors to do more-detailed reviews of driving records for all drivers who transport Columbus students and to 'remove drivers with prior drug and alcohol convictions from district bus routes,' spokesman Mike Fulwider said yesterday.

Research by The Dispatch yesterday identified a third W.C. Brunk bus driver with a Columbus Public Schools route who has a drunken-driving conviction."
