Jess Dykes, director of public information and community engagement for Kenton County School District, said, "This is completely unacceptable. There were students on the bus, there were injuries to the bus driver and the bus monitor. Our thoughts are prayers are with the bus driver and the monitor this evening. We are also upset that the bus driver, the monitor and the students had to endure this." Dykes continued, "Certainly it’s disappointing that a parent would come on the bus and assault our bus driver and monitors that are so hard working and do this job because they love our students and it’s unacceptable.” Dobbs is charged with third degree assault on a school employee or school volunteer.
