Code No. 711.2
STUDENT CONDUCT ON SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION
Students utilizing school transportation shall conduct themselves in an orderly manner fitting to their age level and maturity with mutual respect and consideration for the rights of the bus driver and the other passengers. Students who fail to behave in an orderly manner will be subject to disciplinary measures.
The board supports the use of recording devices on school buses used for transportation to and from school as well as for field trips, curricular or extracurricular events. The recording devices will be used to monitor student behavior and may be used as evidence in a student disciplinary proceeding. The recordings are student records subject to school district confidentiality, board policy, and administrative regulations.
The school vehicle driver shall have the authority to maintain order on the school vehicle. It shall be the responsibility of the driver to report misconduct to the building principal.
After three warnings for bad conduct, or earlier if circumstances warrant it, the superintendent shall have the authority to suspend transportation privileges of the student or other appropriate discipline.
It shall be the responsibility of the superintendent to develop administrative regulations regarding student conduct and discipline when utilizing school transportation.
