Parents of students are responsible for their children's supervision until
the child boards the bus in the morning and after the child leaves the bus
at the end of the school day.
Once a student boards the bus - and only at that time - does he or she become the responsibility of the school system. Such responsibility shall end when the student is delivered to the regular bus stop at the close of the school day.
In view of the fact that a bus is an extension of the classroom, the Board shall require students to conduct themselves on the bus in a manner consistent with established standards for classroom behavior.
When a student does not conduct himself properly on a bus, such instances are to be brought to the attention of the building principal by the bus driver.
Students who
become a serious disciplinary problem on the school bus shall have their transportation
privileges suspended by the principal. In such cases, the parents are responsible
for seeing that their children get to and from school safely.
