"While the student is not a BGCMS member, we are thankful that she was safe and well cared for at our Brockton Clubhouse after mistakenly boarding a Club van at school dismissal time," President and CEO Derek Heim said in a statement.
Heim added that the Boys & Girls Club will work closely with Brockton Public Schools to review their policies and practices related to transportation to/from schools and their Clubhouse "to ensure student safety at every level along our continuum of care."
