Transportation for students shall be provided in accordance with existing law.
The school bus driver shall be responsible for the discipline of students while they are being transported. The principal may suspend a student from bus transportation for disciplinary reasons, and the parents/guardians shall be responsible for the student’s transportation.
Each child will be assigned one bus assignment only for commuting to school and from school. A student may have a different a.m. bus stop pick-up point than his/her p.m. drop-off point; however, each bus stop must remain the same for each day of the week. In order for a student to have multiple bus assignments the parent must provide legal documentation of custody situations. A copy must be submitted to the Transportation Department office. Any changes to bus assignments will be determined by the administrative designee.
An alternate morning stop is permitted only when a student utilizes their existing bus and boards at an existing stop along the prescribed route.
The use of video and audio recording equipment supports efforts to maintain discipline and to ensure the safety and security of all students, staff, contractors, and others being transported on district-owned, operated, or contracted school buses or school vehicles.
The Board authorizes the use of video and audio recordings on school buses and school vehicles.
Closings
School delays and emergency closings will be announced over local radio/TV stations, internet access, or our district Alert Now System. To ensure your child’s safety, prior arrangements to accommodate students when school is not in session should be made.
