Albemarle Road Middle School officials released this statement: “This is Principal Perry with an important message about an incident which occurred on your child’s school bus this morning.

“As the bus stopped to pick up students, an adult boarded the school bus. Law enforcement arrived and the case is under investigation. No one was seriously injured and your student was later brought to school as scheduled. It is a trespassing violation for anyone unauthorized to board a school bus. This matter is now a law enforcement issue.
