In rural central Pennsylvania, a school bus operator was suspended for displaying a controversial sign banning Spanish on the bus. The move drew significant backlash, leading Rohrer Bus, the transportation company involved, to clarify that they did not authorize the sign. Vice President David Schrantz confirmed its existence and acknowledged the need for improved training on diversity and inclusion among bus staff. The sign's unwelcoming message has highlighted issues of racial dynamics in the predominantly white Juniata County, prompting community discussions about inclusivity.
We recognize the seriousness of this situation and the impact it may have on our community. Rohrer Bus is committed to taking proactive steps to prevent such incidents in the future.
Out of respect to English only students, there will be NO speaking Spanish on this bus! This message misled people into thinking it was a note from the company.
