A 14-year-old Tennessee student, Xelani Lugo, who survived a fatal bus crash that killed two classmates, is calling for the replacement of her school board, accusing leaders of ignoring her and other survivors. The crash occurred during a field trip in Carroll County, and the school system cited a driver's 'unforeseeable medical emergency' as the cause. Parents have expressed outrage over the district's response to multiple incidents, including the recent crash and a teacher's alleged misconduct.
