BOARDMAN, Ohio - A Boardman Local School bus aide who is on administrative leave has been arrested after an incident last week involving a preschool student. 

Court records show that township police charged 70-year-old David Genuske of Canfield with one count of child endangering.

Genuske turned himself in at Boardman Police Headquarters Wednesday afternoon and will appear in court later.

According to a police report, on Tuesday, March 16, children's services told police the bus aide dragged the child by the back of his shirt and bookbag from the bus to the awning of the school door.

The four-year-old child attends the ESC's preschool that is housed at West Boulevard Elementary. 

Officers later spoke with the School Resource Officer who was able to confirm an incident had occurred and was captured on the school's security cameras. 

The mother of the child was notified by the school the day after the incident and told police she did not see any marks or bruises on him, according to the report. 

Upon receiving the report from the ESC, the district immediately began an investigation, notified children's services of the allegation, and the police were notified. 

The bus aide was then immediately placed on administrative leave until the investigation is complete.

"The safety of every student in our District is always our foremost priority. If substantiated, the allegations reported to Boardman Schools constitute inappropriate and offensive conduct that justify discipline up to and including termination. The District is actively engaged in the required disciplinary processes."
