MINOOKA, Ill. — Two bus drivers spoke to the Minooka Community High School board of education Thursday night about issues with the transportation department, neither aware the other would be in attendance.

Driver Larry Troutman, who is also the Channahon Township supervisor, asked that he not to be terminated from his job, saying his firing was based on a policy the district doesn’t have.

Troutman explained the circumstances of four incidents that happened while he was driving a bus during the last several months, three of which, he said, were not entirely his fault and for which he, therefore, should not be penalized.
