The Niigata Prefectural Board of Education is investigating extracurricular club activities that involve traveling to away games and competitions. The move comes in response to the recent bus accident that occurred involving the Nagaoka High School basketball team. According to the board, 15 cases of inappropriate travel arrangements have been found so far. The board has been conducting a survey of all high schools in the prefecture since the accident on June 18. It found that some schools allowed students to travel without a chaperone or on a bus that was not approved for use. The board plans to reprimand the schools found to have acted improperly. In the June 18 accident, a bus carrying members of the Nagaoka High School basketball team crashed, killing one female student and injuring another. The bus was operated by a company that did not have a contract with the school. The driver, who was not a certified bus driver, was also found to have been working over the legal limit for driving hours.
