    Supervision of Bus Behavior and Suspension of Bus Privileges
     
    The bus driver is the authority on the school bus, and must maintain order at all times. In cases when a student misbehaves consistently or flagrantly on a bus, the driver may recommend suspension of transportation privileges for the student to school authorities.

    According to law, parents are ultimately responsible for their children’s safe transport to and from school. Unless there is a legal reason for the absence, children must attend school, whether or not their bus privileges have been suspended by school authorities.
