Please contact your Area Bus Supervisor for more information. Sometimes handicapped and non handicapped students ride together. We train our drivers to stop the bus in a safe area and a safe manner as soon as possible when the student's behavior is unacceptable or potentially injurious. For ongoing problems, the driver, parents and teacher should discuss and make plans for correcting the behavior, such as suspending bus privileges for one day. The purpose would be not to punish, but to help the student to understand and accept bus rules.
Logical consequences have a more lasting effect than punitive consequences.
Resistance should not be interpreted as stubbornness or naughtiness. Tantrums are more like emotional storms than willful misbehavior and may be a way the student is trying to communicate. For more information regarding discipline procedures, click here for Regulations for School Bus Safety.
