School Bus Code of Conduct - Bus Referrals and Consequences

The first (1st) Bus Behavior Referral will be issued and sent home. The form needs to be signed by the

parent/guardian and returned the next school day

The second (2nd) Bus Behavior Referral will necessitate a meeting between the parent(s)/guardian(s), student, bus driver (if available), and the Executive Director and/or Principal. At this time, a warning letter will be placed in the student’s file.

The third (3rd) Bus Behavior Referral will require a minimum one (1) day suspension from the bus.

The Fourth (4th) Bus Behavior Referral will require a minimum three (3) day suspension from the bus.

Any Bus Behavior Referrals Beyond the Fourth (4th) one will warrant long term consequences which can include an indefinite suspension or expulsion from the school bus.

Please remember that in most cases, the school district of residence is responsible for transportation and, as a result, can and will impose their own procedures and consequences for violations of school bus rules.
