Discipline On The School Bus
Parents have the first responsibility to ensure that their children know
and obey all the school bus rules of conduct. Parents will be expected to
co-operate with the school principal and bus driver to ensure their child's
proper behaviour while riding the school bus.
The consumption of food or drink is not allowed on the buses as per School
Board Policy. This alleviates health and safety concerns regarding allergies
(food) and choking.
Should a driver be unable to secure the co-operation of a misbehaving
pupil, (s)he shall immediately report to the principal of the school the
name of the pupil, and the nature of the offense using the Breach of Discipline
report Form provided. The principal will then take any action (s)he deems
necessary, which may include withdrawal of the pupil's school bus privileges.
The principal shall notify the parents, in writing of any school bus suspension.
Withdrawal of bus privileges does not exempt the pupil from regular school
attendance.
