Excessive Bus Conduct Report
“Imagine: Make Happen What You Believe”
Attached is another Bus Conduct Report for this student. The student has already received five or
more bus conduct reports. Unfortunately, the student does not seem to be improving their
behavior on the bus, showing a continued pattern of misbehavior. This is compromising safety
on the bus and is a major liability to the District. Stronger action must be taken.
Please discuss this report with the student promptly. As per the guidelines in the Parent/Student
handbook, a conference with the parent is required. Involving a CWA or someone from
Human Resources is probably also warranted. Please inform Transportation when this is held so
someone from that office can attend.
At the fifth conduct report, the Parent/Student handbook also recommends the student have their
bus privileges revoked for THE REMAINDER OF THE SEMESTER. As they received for
than five reports, in addition to disciplinary action taken at your school, the student should be
permanently removed from the bus for the remainder of the school year. Confer with the
Transportation representative at the conference regarding the date of the revocation.
Once done, complete the “School Report” section and retain the Yellow copy for your records.
Give the original to the parent, and the Pink and Gold copies to the Transportation
representative, at the conference.
