Student conduct can contribute to or detract from bus safety. Policy 6123 identifies the district rules for student conduct. The district will provide each student entitled to transportation with seating space of sufficient size to safely accommodate the student. The board holds school bus drivers responsible for the safety of their passengers, particularly those who must cross a roadway to enter or after exiting the bus. Bus drivers may not allow or order any student to disembark at other than his or her customary boarding or drop-off place without proper authorization.
Students are to be accountable for their actions while riding school buses.
The transportation supervisor will coordinate with the school principals regarding corrective action for students who choose not to observe bus rules. The school principal will be responsible for notifying the parents of suspension of bus privileges. Bus drivers will conduct two exit drills each school year, in accordance with policy 6124.
