The driver of a charter bus involved in a fatal crash involving American Fork High School's marching band also drives public school buses for the Nebo School District.

Debra Jarvis, the driver of the private charter bus in Saturday's fatal crash involving American Fork High School's marching band also works as a bus driver for Nebo School District.

Nebo district officials say the 50-year-old woman from Spanish Fork has been employed by district for seven years, earning about $17,000. She has a spotless driving record and no history of medical problems, said assistant superintendent Rick Nielsen. "She's a good employee."

Jarvis was just released Monday from Portneuf Medical Center in Pocatello and hasn't returned to work, though she remains employed, said Nielsen. She passed a physical a couple of months ago, but will be screened again for health problems that might preclude her from continuing to drive buses, Nielsen said. District officials were unaware that Jarvis was also working for Lake Shore Motor

Coach, the private charter company involved in Saturday's accident.

Idaho State police are still investigating the crash. But preliminary reports indicate Jarvis blacked out while transporting a bus full of American Fork High band members. The band's woodwind instructor Heather Christensen tried to take control of the wheel and was killed after the bus rolled.

The National Transportation Safety Board had planned on investigating the

crash, but on Monday informed Idaho police they will not.

"But that won't effect our investigation," said Idaho State Police Capt. Eric Dayley.

Terry Williams, a spokesman for the National Transportation Safety Board, did not know why the board had changed its mind.

"We do not investigate all accidents," said Williams. "We weigh loss of life, and the amount of damage involved, and safety trends or anything of that sort."
