711.2 - Student Conduct on School Transportation

Students utilizing school transportation will conduct themselves in an orderly manner fitting to their age level and maturity with mutual respect and consideration for the rights of the school vehicle driver and the other passengers.  Students who fail to behave in an orderly manner will be subject to disciplinary measures.

The driver will have the authority to maintain order on the school vehicle.  It is the responsibility of the driver to report misconduct to the transportation director and building administrator.

The board supports the use of video cameras, including video and audio recordings, on school buses used for transportation to and from school as well as for field trips, curricular or extracurricular events.  The video cameras may be used to monitor student and/or employee behavior and may be used as evidence in a student or employee disciplinary proceeding.  The video recordings may be student records or employment records subject to school district confidentiality, board policy, and administrative regulations.

After one violation of the bus conduct rules, or for a serious violation of bus conduct rules, the building principal will have the authority to suspend transportation privileges of the student or impose other appropriate discipline.
