RALEIGH, NC : School bus crash on May, Thursday, 18th 2017
School bus crashes happen throughout the state, but Wake County Schools does not keep a documented record of the crashes which happen each year.
This is something some Wake School families say is surprising.
About 80,000 students ride Wake County School District buses every day. Just this year, CBS North Carolina has reported on several Wake County school bus crashes.
However, getting a total number of crashes for each school year is nearly impossible in the county.
In September, CBS North Carolina requested public records on how many bus crashes occurred in Wake County.
District officials said Wake Schools does not keep those records.
“They don’t track it at all. That’s kind of scary,” said Aaron Mears.
Aaron Mears and his wife, Debbie, wait for their grandchildren to get off the bus nearly every day.
