The school district provided this statement to WBNS:
“As a district, we are absolutely horrified by this event. We detest the idea that any adult would ever believe it is acceptable to resort to physical violence against one of our staff members, much less choose to do so in front of their own child. The safety and well-being of our staff and students are our highest priorities. We are fully supporting our transportation aide during this difficult time and have provided.”
The aide, 65-year-old Rose Huffman, shared a photo with WBNS. It showed her face swollen and covered in bruises.
The school district said it filed a report.
No charges have been filed as May 1, 2026.
