Two staff members of a school bus company contracted with the Methuen, Massachusetts, school district were arrested and charged earlier this week, amid allegations of "physical and verbal conduct" toward a student, according to a letter from the district's superintendent. The letter, dated Wednesday, said that an investigation was prompted by a concerned parent who noticed a "change in behavior of their child," Methuen Public Schools Superintendent Brandi Kwong said. Kwong wrote that the district took action after the investigation revealed the alleged conduct onboard a school transit vehicle by the two contractors.
