Certainly report the bus driver to the school district. If you want to make a claim, you have 6 months to first file a tort claim. You can get the form to make a claim from the school district's legal office.

Bus driver overreacted apparently and ought to be reported to authorities. Police ought be informed in case they think it is a criminal case that needs be brought. If you will forgive me for saying so you might give a little direction to the child not to spit on public conveyances.

I assume this is a school bus. Some schools own their own busses and employ the drivers, others contract out the service. Write letters of complaint to whoever you can. Find out any witnesses. Demand an investigation, and most of all insist that if there are any videos they be preserved.

What kind of child spits on the floor of a bus? Rotten. Thank the driver for teaching your nephew a lesson.

I don't think that it is appropriate for the bus driver to discipline your nephew. However, your nephew's mother did a crummy job of teaching him manners. If I was the bus driver and had to clean it up, I would be very upset also.
