Two students on the bus were not injured and were transported to school by another DPS bus, the spokeswoman said.
The driver of the bus will not be cited, according to the district.

Officials say another vehicle hit the pole previously, which caused the pole to lean and wires to be down.
The incident was dispatched near Nicholas Road around 6:20 a.m., per initial reports.
A DPS worker confirmed that two students were on the bus at the time of the crash, but were not injured.
The driver, however, was transported to Miami Valley Hospital with minor injuries.
There was damage to the bus front window as a result of the crash.
Crews are on scene fixing the wires, which are reportedly RTA lines.
