The emcee was John Moore of Oldies 107.9 and on hand to judge were Miss North Carolina Dana Reasons, Wintergreen's Intermediate Principal Pat Clark, ECU's baseball outfielder and a representative from ECU's School of Music.

We took that to Pat Clark.She's Khalil's principal at Wintergreen Intermediate in Pitt County.

Reporter: "Even if a child isn't supposed to be on the bus, but if they show up in the morning; should they be left alone on the street waiting at their bus stop?"

Clark: "No, not if we want to error on the side of safety.We'll just bring them in."

So why was Khalil left alone for an hour on the streets?She says "big miscommunication."

Clark says the drivers had cell phones!

Reporter: "Couldn't they have called and double checked the situation?"

Clark: "They probably could have if they had been thinking about that at that particular point."

So to make sure this doesn't happen again, Clark sent out a written notice to all drivers saying "If there were any doubts before, there are no doubts now, they are told in writing, do not leave any children if they are suspended or not.
...
As for the bus drivers, Clark says the assistant principal talked with them, but they'll keep driving.
