Injured bus monitor awarded $83,776.27

Copyright © 2015 Albuquerque Journal When a particularly difficult special needs student at Montezuma Elementary School went for the door of the moving bus on Oct. 10, 2011, veteran bus monitor Joann Triviso was there to stop him. But it cost her. She suffered a dislocated shoulder in the process. Last week, a jury in 2nd Judicial District Court said she deserved compensation for her injuries and awarded her $83,776.27 in damages after finding that the Albuquerque Public Schools Board of Education was at fault. “The real question was whether APS was negligent for having that student on the bus because he’d had (previous) outbursts,” Triviso’s attorney, Roger Moore, said Friday.
