• Discipline Procedures

    Discipline procedures are designed to assure every student’s safe transportation to and from school and school-sponsored activities. Violations of the rules on a bus, at a bus stop, or at a loading area may be sufficient reason to discontinue bus transportation privileges.

    Drivers must deal with those riders who threaten the safety of themselves or other students or behave in a way that will distract the driver. The driver will notify the transportation supervisor who will attempt to contact the parent or guardian to discuss behavior and, hopefully, find a way to alleviate the problem. Should the discipline problem continue, the driver will issue the student a Bus Conduct Report.

    Bus Conduct Reports must be signed and returned to the driver the next day. Students in grades 7-12 will be denied bus-riding privileges until the slip is signed and returned. Parents/ guardians will be notified by mail or telephone prior to any service suspension.
