A mother is frustrated after being told her 9-year-old son, who is autistic, was dropped off at the wrong school on Sept. 19.
Jacqueline Poole says around 7 a.m. on Sept. 19 her 9-year-old son Ladarrion got on the bus headed to his school, Palmer Elementary, in Missouri City. She received a call around Noon that day from the Assistant Director of Transportation who said Ladarrion was sent to Lantern Lane Elementary instead - a school about 2 miles away.
Fort Bend ISD confirms the incident happened, and said the mistake was discovered by campus staff within 10 minutes. The transportation department was alerted, and the driver returned to the school to pick the child up and deliver him to the right campus, according to the district spokesperson.
