In the jurisdiction where I live- just north of Montana, in Alberta, passing a school bus with red lights flashing is a huge fvck up. Automatic dangerous driving charge, so a mandatory court appearance, 6 demerits against the license which means insurance goes sky high, and loss of license for 30 days no questions asked plus whatever the justice deems as a penalty. She probably would have lost her job.

This fvcking broad deserves to be shamed.

Discounted slap on the wrist for this clown... A school administrator should be held to a higher standard in this case.

And it's insane "she pleaded no contest to a citation alleging she illegally passed a stopped school bus" but that does not automatically imply admitting guilt.

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Montana’s top schools official was fined $100 after she pleaded no contest to a citation alleging she illegally passed a stopped school bus while children were boarding.

Superintendent of Public Instruction Elsie Arntzen on Wednesday entered the plea meaning that she did not not admit guilt but was not contesting the charge, according to Helena Municipal Court records.

Arntzen was cited last week for illegally passing the bus in a residential subdivision on the morning of May 19.

She said she does not recall the incident, but the East Helena Public Schools bus driver recognized her and wrote down the license plate of the pickup truck that passed the bus, according to police reports. The school district also gave Helena police two photos from the school bus video camera showing the incident.

Helena Municipal Court Judge Anne Peterson suspended $400 of the $500 fine and ordered that Arntzen could have the citation removed from her driving record if she has no traffic violations over the next two months, court documents said.
