Deborah Bomia sued the Ben Hill County School District the “School District” and its transportation director, Angie Dopson, for malicious prosecution, false arrest and wrongful discharge arising from Bomia’s actions in leaving the scene and failing to report an accident involving the school bus she was operating. The trial court granted summary judgment to the defendants, finding that sovereign immunity barred Bomia’s claims. Bomia appeals, contending that sovereign and official immunity did not bar her claims against the School District or Dopson.1 For the reasons that follow, we affirm.

“On appeal from the grant of summary judgment, this Court conducts a de novo review of the evidence to determine whether there is a genuine issue of material fact and whether the undisputed facts, viewed in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party, warrant judgment as a matter of law.” Citations and punctuation omitted. Campbell v. Landings Assn., 289 Ga. 617, 618 713 SE2d 860 2011.
