Parents in Harford County, Maryland, are asking school officials to reconsider the removal of longtime bus driver Cynthia Morgan after she allegedly allowed a student to leave a school bus to rescue an injured kitten. Morgan, who transported students for 11 years, was removed from her route this week, prompting families to circulate a petition seeking her return.

Parents acknowledge that allowing a student to exit a school bus presents safety risks, but they argue that removing Morgan from her route was excessive. Video recorded on Heaps School Road shows little traffic on the rural road, which parents say provides important context for the incident.
