Troubling Sped Bus Issue

Over at the Facebook page for the Seattle Schools Special Education parent group, one parent posted this form about riding on the bus. 


The parent who received asked this:

Q: Has anybody seen this form before? Where is from, if you know?

I was given this form to sign right on the school bus by the bus driver the first day. I said that I wanted to read before I signed. I did not sign as I was uncomfortable to sign. Thanks
She went on to report it was the same bus driver they had last year with no issues.

The next day:

And next day, yesterday, my child was given a "vest" to put on. My child was so frightened. All my child could do was shaking, "no, mom, no... " 

We've never asked for one nor used one. My child has been a good rider. I contacted Transportation. Katie said she was unsure why my child was marked as "Equipment Code - Vest". She said she would email dispatcher. 

So now I am thinking the two incidents maybe related. I am trying to figure where the form is from. I don't see the bus driver today. It was a different one.

One parent said:

Maybe they have something wrong in their computer? It seems very odd that they would all of a sudden put your daughter in a harness. Please get your teacher involved, cite the IEP, whatever you need to do.

The parent of the child:

I did email back to Katie at Transportation and CCed our SpEd teacher to bring their attention to this form, but I haven't heard back from Katie, nor Transportation yet. I was worried that the driver would ask my child to put on the "vest" on the way home from school. I went in to ensure that this did not happen. Our SpEd teacher said that she'd already forwarded my concern to our principal.
I also hope that this is just a computer error.  

As I said at the Facebook page, sure, it may be a human error.  But it's one that comes at the cost of frightening a child and worrying a parent.  On day one of the school year.

That's not acceptable.
