A bus driver has been fired after officials say an open can of
beer was spotted as he transported elementary school students in
Wisconsin.

Fourth and fifth-grade students at Lincoln Elementary School in
Green Bay were traveling back from a field trip in Madison when
one of the students discovered the beer can “under the bus
driver’s seat,” according to a letter the school’s principal
sent to parents.

The bus driver, employed by Lamers Bus Lines, did not smell of
alcohol, nor did teachers report any impaired driving, the
principal said. But when the bus arrived back at the school, the
driver admitted to police he drank beer as the students were at
their field trip, according to the principal.

WLUK reported the bus driver was arrested and accused of driving
while impaired. Police said his blood alcohol level was above
.04, which is the legal limit for driving a commercial motor
vehicle, according to WLUK.

The driver’s name has not been announced.

Lamers Bus Lines said it is cooperating with the school district
and the Green Bay Police Department in its investigation.

“Lamers Bus Lines has a zero-tolerance policy for drugs and
alcohol, and the driver has been terminated, effective
immediately,” a spokesperson said in a statement to McClatchy
News.

Adam Gloudemans, Lincoln Elementary’s principal, told parents
the school “regret(s) that this situation occurred.”

“Please know that student safety is our highest priority and we
will review safety protocols with Lamers,” Gloudemans said.
