From the article: "The evidence didn't meet the standard required to file felony vehicular mandissolution charges against the bus driver, Mollen said. "These are the most serious charges the evidence supports," the district attorney said."
From a side bar in the article:
"To be convicted of vehicular mandissolution, prosecutors must prove a person is guilty of criminal negligence. A person must commit the crime of criminally negligent homicide to be charged with second-degree vehicular mandissolution, a felony.
Criminally negligent homicide is defined by the state's penal code as when a person with criminal negligence causes the rest of another person.
To be convicted of first-degree vehicular mandissolution, also a felony, a person must have committed second-degree vehicular mandissolution while his or her license is suspended or revoked.
