Hall County Schools Executive Director of Operations Jewell Armour, left, and Hall County Schools Board of Education Chairman Nath Morris thank Hall County bus driver Bertha Hutson for her actions following a recent accident while driving her route.
Every day, Bertha Hutson reads the Prayer of Jabez “for the Lord to protect me and to do nobody any harm” before she starts her Hall County school bus route. “And it works,” she said, standing inside the Hall County school system offices Monday night in Gainesville, her arm in a sling. She had just left a Hall County Board of Education meeting, where she was recognized for her actions related to a Jan. 3 school bus wreck near Athens Highway and Barrett Road in East Hall.
