Bus Conduct & Discipline
The busdriver and/or busaide will complete a Bus Conduct Report in the event of a student’s inappropriate behavior on the bus. The BusConduct Report will be submitted to the building Principal and a copy will be sent to the student’s parent(s) or legal guardian(s). This is in accordance with Policy 8630: BusDriver/BusAide Responsibility. A student may be excluded from the bus for disciplinary reasons by the administration and their parent/guardian/caregiver shall provide for their transportation to and from school during the period of such exclusion.
