Currituck County Schools confirmed an incident occurred in which an adult used "profane and derogatory language" on one of the district's buses, prompting an investigation.

In a release, school leaders say an "unauthorized adult" got onto one of the school district's buses. The release didn't address the specific language the adult used, who it was directed towards or who the adult is. However, leaders condemned the behavior, calling it "unacceptable" and "prohibited by law" in the release.

The incident was reported to law enforcement and is under investigation. Leaders say they're reviewing transportation procedures to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

WTKR News 3 has reached out to law enforcement about the investigation. This article will be updated accordingly.
