    Only regularly transported students to and from school for classes are permitted to ride school buses.  It is not the responsibility of the school district to transport students who are visitors or who are going to meetings such as Boy Scout or Girl Scout groups or to parties.  Buses are to be used only for school affairs.  Any request for exception to any regulation regarding transportation must be filed in written form from parent or guardian to the school.

4.  Students are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that will not distract the attention of their driver or disturb other riders on the bus.  The principal has the authority to suspend a student's privilege to ride the bus temporarily for misconduct.  The school may suspend the student's privilege to ride the bus permanently for misconduct.

5.  If a student's conduct is unusually disruptive, the driver has the authority to notify the student that he is not eligible to ride the bus the following morning or until the misconduct has been reported to the principal and a conference held.  If a student's conduct is such that the safety of the student(s) is in danger, the driver has the authority to require the student to leave the bus immediately.

6.  Students must remain seated while on the bus and move only with the approval of the driver.  Students should not change seats while the bus is in motion.  A student wishing to change should do so while the bus is stopped.
