Central Illinois Student To Get 250 Thousand Dollars In Bus Beating Case

A former student at a central Illinois school is getting a quarter-of-a-million dollars after a jury in Chicago said his school bus driver let him get beaten-up. The student was 13 back in 2014 when El Paso-Gridley School District bus driver James Roberts was caught on video allowing other students to beat the young man. A jury in Chicago this month found that Roberts violated the teen's civil rights and ordered a 250 thousand-dollar payment. Lawyers for the teen say the school initially ignored complaints, and brushed off reports that Roberts egged-on other attacks. El Paso-Gridley Superintendent Brian Kurz yesterday said Roberts' actions 'reprehensible.'
