FARGO (AP) -- The head of Larimore Public Schools says school officials have received offers from about 30 schools to provide counselors in the wake of a school bus-train accident that killed two people and injured 12 students.
The collision Monday killed the bus driver, 62-year-old Max Danner, and a 17-year-old student. Seven girls between the ages of 5 and 15 and five boys between 6 and 16 were injured.
Roger Abbe, the superintendent of Larimore schools, says many of the counselors who volunteered were on hand for classes Tuesday, as well as clergy members. He says substitute teachers were brought in to support regular faculty.
Abbe says the offers for help show that area schools may be rivals on the basketball court or football field, but come together in tough times.
