Riding a school bus is a privilege extended
to students by the county. A behavioral
expectation contract will be sent home with bus students the first week of
school. The contract should be read,
signed by students and parents, and returned to school. For the safety of all students, proper bus
behavior must be observed by all riders.
Failure to comply with bus rules may result in removal from the bus for
a limited or permanent period of time.
School officials and parents are very concerned about the
safety of students as they are transported to and from school. All measures are taken to see that students
who misbehave on the school bus are not violating students' rights to safe
transportation.
The
number one cause of bus accidents is student misconduct. Riding a school bus is a privilege that can
be taken away from students at any time for disruptive or unsatisfactory
behavior.
All
children on the buses are under the authority of the bus drivers and must obey
the driver's request. The Principal
and/or the Assistant Principal will give the drivers full support in the safe
transportation of students to and from school.
