“I don’t know that it could have gone any better, and when you have an anchor like Dylan taking care of business on the bus, it really and truly was a good day for us,” Superintendent Robert D. Livernois said in a news conference.
Thanks to his quick thinking, there were no injuries to students or the bus driver.
