Policy Code    JICC Policy Name     Student Conduct on School Buses Adoption             July 2, 1984 Revised               June 23, 2011

This policy is included in the Student Code of Conduct (S11-008). This policy code used to be JFCC.

The privilege of riding a school bus is contingent upon a student’s good behavior and observance of the student code of conduct and established regulations for student conduct both at bus stops and on board buses.

The driver of a school bus shall be responsible for the safety of the students on the bus, both during the ride and while students are entering or leaving the vehicle. Students shall be required to conform to all regulations concerning discipline, safety, and behavior while riding in the school bus. Therefore, it is the bus driver’s duty to notify the director of transportation and the principal of the school involved if any student persists in violating the established rules of conduct.

After due warning has been given to the student and to the parent, guardian, or legal custodian, the principal may withhold from the student the privilege of riding the school bus. The student also may be suspended or expelled, in accordance with established policies, including discipline of habitually disruptive students, for flagrant violation of school bus rider conduct regulations, or conduct detrimental to the safe operation of the bus.
