Seven middle school students were suspended and a school bus driver was placed on leave after the beating of a 12-year-old boy was captured on a surveillance camera aboard the bus.

News programs showed the tape of several Landon Middle School students punching the boy for about 30 seconds last week as he cowered in his seat.

The boy, who was not seriously injured, will be allowed to transfer to another school, a spokeswoman for Duval County schools said Wednesday.

A hearing officer will determine the punishments, which could include expulsion, for the suspended students, she said.
