Two former Parkland School District bus drivers are facing felony charges after authorities said they illegally entered a district bus garage and gained access to confidential information of district employees and students by gaining access to computers there.

Shawn Levy, 32, of Breinigsville, and Tyler Young, 27, of Allentown, are charged with conspiracy to commit burglary, conspiracy to criminal trespass and conspiracy to unlawful duplication.

Young was arraigned June 25 before Magisterial District Judge Derek A. Kirsopp and is free on unsecured $50,000 bail. Levy will be arraigned at a later date.

Lehigh County District Attorney Gavin Holihan reported some of the details of the case, saying on June 8, South Whitehall Township Police were notified by Parkland School Director of Safety Dr. Anthony Naradko about an unauthorized entry into the Orefield Middle School bus garage.

He said the school district provided surveillance video from the night of the incident around 10 p.m. June 6, which shows both defendants arrive together in a Tesla registered to Young. The video shows the car parked in a lot near the garage and a few minutes later, both defendants entered a secure bus garage which neither had access to open.

Holihan said both defendants remained inside the garage for nearly two hours before they both left together. School district officials said neither defendant was permitted nor authorized to be inside the facility after hours.

Garage Foreman Daniel Blewitt reported that on June 6, while he was not present at work, he received notifications about new computer login attempts. Those attempts showed access from Blewitt’s cellphone and computer. Blewitt’s computer was located inside the Orefield Middle School bus garage. The district attorney said Blewitt reviewed the account history and discovered multiple disciplinary files had been accessed at that time.

During the course of the investigation, school district employees located a printed student roster that included photographs of students on Levy’s assigned school bus. That roster had been printed on April 25.

Officials said student photograph rosters are only accessible through the Parkland School District’s software system and access is restricted to administrative personnel, nothing neither Levy nor Young had authorized access to the student photograph rosters.

The investigation later revealed that on at least 55 different occasions between March 25 and June 5, an off-site IP address associated with Levy and Young had been used to gain unauthorized access to another district employee’s account and to view and duplicate protected electronic files and records, including the student photograph roster.

Holihan said police believe both suspects traveled to the Orlando area after being made aware of arrest warrants against them.
