DISCIPLINARY GUIDELINES

The Transportation Department realizes that the majority of the students adhere to and practice self
discipline. However, on occasion, some students behavior must be modified to ensure the safety and
comfort of themselves and their fellow passengers. In these instances the following procedure will be
utilized:

A) If a student's action warrants a written notice, an attempt will be made to notify the parent/guardian
before each written notice is given to the student. This is to insure the parent/guardian are aware of
the action and can help in the discipline process.

If written notice is given to a student, that student will not be allowed to ride the bus until the written
notice is signed by the parent/guardian and returned to the bus driver that issued the written notice.
If written notice is not returned within three (3) days by the student, the written notice will be mailed
to the parent/guardian by certified mail with a signature required.

B) The first written notice will be a warning, the second written notice will suspend riding privileges on
the vehicle for five (5) days and a third written notice will warrant loss of riding privileges indefinitely.

C) Questions regarding discipline can be discussed with the Transportation Office by telephoning (775)
847-0942.
