Students utilizing school transportation will conduct themselves in an orderly manner fitting to their age level and maturity with mutual respect and consideration for the rights of the school vehicle driver and the other passengers. Students who fail to behave in an orderly manner will be subject to disciplinary measures.
The driver will have the authority to maintain order on the school vehicle. It is the responsibility of the driver to report misconduct to the transportation director and building administrator.
The board supports the use of video cameras on school vehicles used for transportation to and from school as well as for field trips, curricular, or extracurricular events. The video cameras will be used to monitor student behavior and may be used as evidence in a student or employee disciplinary proceeding. The videotapes are student or employee records subject to school district confidentiality, and applicable board policy.
Transportation privileges will be withdrawn and/or denied to any and all students who fail to conform to accepted standards of our handbooks, regulations and policies. The superintendent, or designee, may suspend a student from bus transportation for misconduct related to bus transportation. For gross misconduct or repeated misconduct following other forms of discipline, the superintendent may recommend to the Board that a student be suspended from bus transportation for a long term.
