There is no law that says you can’t recognize a kid for a heroric action but also apply consequences for breaking school rules
In this case altought the drive by media wants us to be indignant against the mean old school, we don’t know how many times this kid has skipped class

If you were the parents do you want to put your kid on the bus in the morning and then the kid tells the bus driver to just give them a ride on the next bus route and drop them off back home without the school or you knowing?

Whatever happened to radio communications in the buses so they could call the schools?

Also this bus driver wasn’t wearing her seat belt- another lapse in judgement that calls into question the facts of the whole story here
