All school policies are in effect at bus stops and on school buses at all times and student misconduct will be subject to progressive discipline up to and including suspension from the bus for the remainder of the year.Student transportation is a privilege -- not a right. Violation of school bus rules can create an immediate danger to the health and safety of others.
