The district said one of its two charter buses carrying students on the End-of-Year Field Study was the bus involved. Emergency personnel and school officials responded to the scene after the incident.

The four individuals transported for evaluation were reported to be in stable condition with minor injuries. That leaves the immediate question for families in Fairfield County focused on whether anyone needed more than basic medical attention; the district said no serious injuries were reported.

The traffic incident happened in St. Johns County, Florida, while the bus was on Interstate 95. The district said families will be updated directly if additional information becomes necessary.

For students on the trip, the key fact is that the bus was one of two traveling for the End-of-Year Field Study and the response on scene ended with four people evaluated rather than a wider medical evacuation. The district’s promise to contact families directly gives parents one clear channel for follow-up if the situation changes.
