CHAPTER 5.00 - STUDENTS

5.34 Responsibility Of Students While On School Buses

Each student who is eligible to be transported is entitled to free transportation only so long as he abides by the rules of safety and behavior necessary for the operation of the system. Serious infraction of these rules may cause him to lose this privilege. It is the responsibility of the parents to see that the pupil abides by rules or to provide his own transportation. Suspension from a school bus does not affect the requirements of attendance law and rules. Any student transported at public expense shall abide by the rules stated in the Code of Student Conduct and such rules as are posted on the bus. Bus drivers will review with students at the beginning of each semester the rules for conduct on the bus.
