Escambia County School Bus Drivers To Attend Funeral Of Driver Shot, Killed In Alabama

Dozens of  Escambia County School District bus drivers will attend the funeral Sunday of a bus driver shot and killed near Midland City, Ala.

When an armed gunman boarded his bus Tuesday and demanded to take all of the students, driver Charles Albert Poland, 66, refused. He was shot four times and died protecting all of the students, except one, was safely escaped bus 04-2.

A 5-year old kindergartener was kidnapped by Jimmy Lee Dykes and held in an underground bunker.

Poland had driven for the Dale County Board of Eduction for three years. After his route, he and his wife Jan would share a cup of coffee and watch the sunset, or listen to the Alabama ran, she told the Dothan Eagle.

They would sometimes recite their favorite Bible verse:

For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day. – 2 Timothy 1:12

Poland, by all accounts, love his simple life, and loved the children on his bus.

He loved them. He loved everybody and he was loved,” Jan Poland told the Dothan Eagle.

“I am proud of a group of Escambia bus drivers that will be attending the funeral of the bus driver that was killed earlier this week near Dothan. This is a remarkable gesture to communicate respect and recognition for all bus drivers that would be willing to shield and protect their cargo (our students),” Escambia County Superintendent of Education Malcolm Thomas wrote on his Facebook page Friday.
