Summary:
The claimant, employed as a bus driver by a School Board, was dismissed for what the School Board considered inappropriate behaviour which was deemed to be misconduct. The incident in question involved the claimant stopping her bus, to confront the driver of a car that was following her and whom she considered was stalking her. This incident was considered to be misconduct while driving the school bus, even though no students were aboard at the time. Actions of talking on a cell phone while driving and actions of stopping a school bus to confront an individual are wilful, deliberate and reckless. The claimant's appeal is dismissed.
