The bus driver is not obliged to wait for late arrivals. The parent or guardian will advise students that the purpose of school bus transportation is to transport students from their school bus stop to the school, and from the school to their home bus stop. The bus driver has no authority to discharge passengers at other than the school or the home bus stop. The student should not take it upon him or herself to disembark between school and home. The Board is not responsible for the safety of students who proceed to and from school by means other than the school bus or private conveyance authorized by the Board.
Any distraction can inadvertently result in a tragedy.
The Strait Regional School Board is not responsible for students who insist on leaving the school bus without permission from the driver. The school principal will then contact the parent or guardian.
