School Bus Regulations

All students must follow the District’s School Bus Safety Guidelines. The Superintendent, or any designee as permitted in The School Code, is authorized to suspend a student from riding the school bus for up to 10 consecutive school days for engaging in gross disobedience or misconduct, including, but not limited to, the following:

• Prohibited student conduct as defined in the Student Discipline Code.
• Willful injury or threat of injury to a bus driver or to another rider.
• Willful and/or repeated defacement of the bus.
• Repeated use of profanity.
• Repeated willful disobedience of a directive from a bus driver or other supervisor.
• Such other behavior as the Superintendent or designee deems to threaten the safe operation of the bus and/or its occupants.

If a student is suspended from riding the bus for gross disobedience or misconduct on a bus, the School Board may suspend the student from riding the school bus for a period in excess of 10 days for safety reasons. The District’s regular suspension procedures shall be used to suspend a student’s privilege to ride a school bus.
