"Late yesterday, Fort Bend ISD School Board President Sonal Bhuchar responded to a request for comment from FortBendNow on the controversy over bus driver Jack Richardson’s claims of retaliation by FBISD Transportation Director Richard Torres.
In an e-mailed statement received at 5:25 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, Bhuchar said trustees cannot comment on the case since the school board will be the final arbiter on Richardson’s grievance.
“Currently that is a matter under grievance appeal and likely to come before the board and hence it would be inappropriate for me to comment on, since as a board we are bound by law to be fair and impartial and must hear the grievance with no preconceived information or ideas,” Bhuchar noted.
With respect to other recent controversies in the district’s transportation department, including transportation supervisors having work done on their personal vehicles by district mechanics and Torres ignoring district policy by failing to take action against the supervisor who assaulted Richardson, Bhuchar said those issues have been addressed. Since are all “personnel matters,” however, the board cannot make public comments on them."
