ATLANTA, GA - JANUARY 29: An abandoned Atlanta Public School bus sits in the ice on Howell Mill Road during the winter storm January 29, 2014 in Atlanta, Georgia. Drivers and kids on school buses were stuck in their vehicles overnight as the wintery weather and accidents snarled roads and highways thoughout the region. (not the actual story)
An 11-year-old Georgia boy jumped off a school bus and into a passing pickup truck in a desperate effort to get away from his bullies, his father claimed. The middle schooler leaped out of the right rear window as the bus came to a halt in a turn lane.
Drake, R-Eucheeanna, introduced the amendment Thursday, the day the bill was scheduled to have been considered before the entire state House. It is now slated to be heard Tuesday.
State Sen. George Gainer, R-Panama City, said he suggested changing the bill language after speaking to Drake and Freeport Mayor Russ Barley.
In a Friday email, Barley said he had spoken to Gainer but did not indicate that he taken a firm stance either for or against making changes to the existing city ordinance, which was passed in 1980. The City Council has not discussed the issue at hand and I did speak with Sen. Gainer and stated to him that I would be back in touch after receiving additional information concerning the matter, Barley said. Mr. Odom as of this date has not been in to discuss the situation with me.
