Students should wait off the traveled portion of the roadway, should be courteous to others at the bus stop, should not engage in unruly behavior, and should respect the property of others. Once the bus has arrived, students should comply with the bus driver's requests or instructions. Students should be aware that fighting or racial or sexual harassment on the bus will not be tolerated and will result in loss of transportation services. Violations of other bus rules may also result in loss of transportation services. During snow, ice, and other emergency conditions, school hours and bus route service may be limited.
Information concerning emergency conditions is announced on most area radio and TV stations.
Eligibility is based on the degree of student need in a particular subject area. Requirements for entering into the program vary according to the achievement level of the student. The Kent School District has an extensive special education program that offers a free and appropriate education to all eligible children who have disabilities and reside within the district service boundaries. To qualify, a student must meet state requirements and demonstrate a need for specialized instruction.
