MINERSVILLE, Pa. – An eastern Pennsylvania school bus driver has been suspended for leaving a 7-year-old boy asleep on the bus.
Officials with the Minersville School District confirm that the boy, Nathaniel Romberger, was found sleeping on the bus 25 minutes after he was supposed to be in class at Llewellyn Elementary School Monday morning.
