The safe and proper transportation of students on school busses is of significant importance to all parties concerned. The conduct of students whether waiting for transportation, or while being transported, should be the same conduct as expected of students while in class. We will not tolerate any behavior that prevents our drivers from carrying out their responsibilities; or that intimidates others; or that prevents fellow passengers from having a safe ride to and from school.
