Bus Conduct and Safety Procedures
The safety of all children is the primary responsibility of the bus driver and takes precedence over all
other considerations. The school bus driver has full authority to enforce bus transportation policies and
procedures. All school rules of the conduct/discipline code will be enforced during bus transportation.
The use of a school bus is a privilege that may be denied if any of the rules are violated. In
addition to these, students are to practice proper bus conduct:
Cafeteria
Seating:
Except when assigned by the driver or school administration, there are no reserved seats on the
bus. Students will take available seats as they enter the bus and will not “save” a seat for any
other student who may later board the bus. State law requires that students stay seated at all
times while the bus is in motion and that they refrain from putting any part of the body outside the
bus.
Littering and Vandalism:
Throwing objects of any kind from the bus is dangerous; it may also result in a littering citation.
Littering in or out of the bus, and acts of vandalism will not be tolerated. Disciplinary measures
consistent with school policies will be enforced.
Assignments:
Students are only permitted to ride their assigned bus unless authorization has been given in
advance by the school administration. Students should note that it is a misdemeanor to board a
school bus without proper authorization and with the intent to commit a crime, disrupt or interfere
with the driver, or refuse to disembark from a school bus after being ordered to do so.
Videotaping:
Students may be videotaped on school buses for safety and disciplinary purposes; these tapes
will be periodically reviewed by the school administration.
The school cafeteria is maintained as a vital part of the health program of the school district. To
encourage good nutrition, a well-balanced lunch is offered at a reasonable price. All students are to
either purchase their lunch or bring one from home. Additionally, breakfast is served daily between 6:55 -
7:10 AM. While eating in the cafeteria, students will:
Deposit all lunch litter in wastebaskets.
Return trays and utensils to the dishwashing area.
Leave the tables, chairs, and floors in a clean condition for others. The eating areas are the
responsibility of the entire table, not single individuals.
