Lee County school bus driver suspended after controversial picture

Published: Updated:

FORT MYERS, Fla.- A Lee County School District bus driver was suspended months after a picture emerged of her allegedly urinating in public.

Back in September, a man was driving by Caloosa Middle School in Cape Coral when he snapped the photo showing the bus driver with her pants down.

The driver, later identified as Karen Fowler, was suspended for seven days in March and re-assigned to an alternate location.

School district officials said there was “probable cause for disciplinary action.”

According to the report, Fowler told the school district she ripped her pants but the district says security camera footage shows there was no tear “visible either before or after her afternoon route.”
