Cazenovia Bus Driver Charged

Original Story:

A bus driver employed by the Cazenovia School District has been arrested for allegedly inappropriately touching two young girls while they were passengers on his assigned school bus.

Authorities say the inappropriate conduct happened over a period of several months.

The Madison County Sheriff’s Office School Resource Officer was made aware of the complaints.

Mark Macera, a 68-year-old from Cazenovia, is charged with two counts each of forcible touching and endangering the welfare of a child.  No other details were released about the timing or specific nature of the alleged incidents.

He was released on appearance tickets and is scheduled to be arraigned in the Village of Cazenovia Court on April 6, 2022.

On March 17, 2022 Macera was suspended from his duties as a bus driver for the Cazenovia School District, pending an investigation into the allegations.
