PENALTIES OF VIOLATIONS TO BUS POLICY
In the event that a student misbehaves on a bus or endangers the safety of others, the bus driver will submit a conduct report to the principal. The following will then be in effect.
1st Offense
A warning is given to the student and a written notice is sent to the parents.
2nd Offense
A phone call and notice to parents that the child has lost bus privileges for 3 days. Specific dates will be listed on notice.
3rd Offense
A phone call and notice to parents that the child has lost bus privileges for 5 days. Specific dates will be listed on the notice. Should the student be referred again, a meeting will be held with the principal, parents, child, bus company representative, and an official from the Board of Education to discuss future action. A suspension of up to 10 days could result. If you have any concerns, you are entitled to a hearing before the suspension.
4th Offense
Any additional difficulties will result in a phone call, and a written notice stating the time and date a conference has been scheduled. At this conference the principal, parent, child, bus company representative, and an official from the Board of Education will be present. A suspension of up to 10 days or possible expulsion from the bus will be considered.
The administration reserves the right to take immediate measures necessary to preserve the health and safety of the other students riding the bus.
Disciplinary problems on the school buses will be procedurally treated with progressive discipline. However, destruction of property, profane or abusive language directed towards the bus driver, fighting, and other similar activities are recognized as sufficient reasons for denial of school bus transportation at the first offense. |
