Student Management / Corrective Action

If the school bus safety rules are not followed, the following will happen:

  1. First Incident. The driver will counsel the student.  The driver will contact the parent and request assistance in correcting the student's misconduct.  A copy of the "Report of School Bus Misconduct" will be e-mailed/mailed to the parent and the student's school transportation point of contact (principal/assistant principal).

  2. Second Incident. The driver will counsel the student.  The driver will contact the parent and request assistance in correcting the student misconduct.  A copy of the "Report of School Bus Misconduct" will be e-mailed/mailed to the parent and the student's school transportation point of contact (principal/assistant principal).

  3. Third Incident. The driver will counsel the student.  A supervisor from the Transportation Department will contact the parent and request assistance in correcting the student's misconduct.  On this, the third reported incident, the student will lose all district provided transportation privileges for 3 school days.  Parents are responsible for their child's transportation to and from school during this time.  A copy of the "Report of School Bus Misconduct" letter with action taken will be e-mailed/mailed to the parent and the student's school transportation point of contact (principal/assistant principal).  Parents are responsible for their child's transportation to and from school during this time.

  4. Fourth Incident.

  5. Additional Incidents. Additional incidents will result in removal from the bus for the remainder of the school year. End of year violations/disciplinary actions may carry over to the beginning of the following school year.  Parents are then responsible for their child's transportation to and from school.

NOTE:  Immediate loss of transportation privileges may occur depending on the severity of the violation.  (May include but is not limited to: weapons on the bus, drugs, physical violence, vandalism, actions that may adversely impact the safety of others, etc.)  These violations may be subject to additional school/district administrative and/or disciplinary action.

Remember, school bus transportation is a privilege, not a right.

Videotaping.  Videotaping will occur at random during the school year on your student(s) route.  Students will not be notified when a recording device has been installed and is in use.  Videotapes will be treated as protected student records under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
