Student Conduct on Buses
School Board Approved: February 28, 2005
Students using District transportation must understand that they are under the jurisdiction of the school from the time they arrive at the bus stop, until they exit the bus stop.
Pupils transported in a school bus shall be under the authority of the District and under control of the bus driver. Continued disorderly conduct or persistent refusal to submit to the authority of the driver shall be sufficient reasons for a pupil to be denied the privilege of transportation in accordance with the regulations of the Board.
The driver of the bus shall be held responsible for the orderly conduct of the pupils transported.
The Superintendent or his/her designee will develop rules and regulations for conduct on buses and these shall be printed in the Parent-Student Handbook.
Resolution of Conflicts:
A parent who wishes to request a change or exemption from any of the Student Transportation policies shall direct that request first to the SAU Transportation Coordinator. If the ruling of the SAU Transportation Coordinator does not satisfy the parent, he or she may appeal the ruling within five days to the School Business Administrator. If the ruling does again not satisfy the parent, he or she may appeal to the Superintendent within the next five-day period. As a last appeal, the parent may request to appear before the Board’s Transportation Committee.
