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 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 on the vehicle to the Transportation Department in a timely fashion.

The Board supports the use of video cameras on school buses used for transportation to and from school as well as for field trips, curricular or extra curricular events.  The video cameras may be used to monitor student behavior and may be used as evidence in a student disciplinary proceeding.  The video tapes are student records subject to school district confidentiality, board policy and administrative regulations.

In an effort to provide all school vehicle passengers with the safest and most efficient ride to and from their attendance centers as well as for field trips, curricular or extra curricular events. Bus rules outlined in Board Policy 702.8R1 must be followed at all times.

It is the responsibility of the Superintendent or his designee, to develop administrative regulations regarding student conduct and discipline when utilizing school district transportation.
