  • Bus Safety Rules

Bus Safety Rules

The Following bus conduct and safety rules are designed to promote safety on the school at all times.  The safety of students is our top priority.  There, each student is expected to cooperate fully with the following rules and safety guidelines.

Riding a bus is a privilege.  Whenever a student violates any of the following rules, he/she may have bus- riding privileges suspended for a period of time as deemed appropriate for the offense.  Whenever a student seriously interferes with the safety of other students or seriously interferes with the driver being able to drive, bus- riding privileges could be permanently suspended for a given school year.

The school bus drivers shall keep order and maintain discipline on the bus.  To assist the drivers in this responsibility, drivers have the authority to assign seats to students and deny students bus- riding privileges for one day.  When more serious problems exist, bus drivers will refer students to the appropriate building principal or transportation director.

Bus drivers are expected to come to a complete stop at each student’s pickup point.  However, if after coming to a complete stop, the student(s) are nowhere in sight, the driver is not obligated to wait any prescribed length of time.
