SECTION 5

STUDENT MANAGEMENT POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

The Antelope Valley Schools Transportation Agency is committed to operating the safest transportation system possible through good bus maintenance, continuous driver training, and appropriate student behavior. It is the belief of the Agency that all students can behave appropriately and safely while riding on a school bus. Student behavior that creates an unsafe or unpleasant environment for students or drivers will not be tolerated. Students are expected to follow all bus rules while on any bus used for the purpose of home-to school transportation, both AM and PM; sporting activities; field trips; and other school sponsored events. The privilege of riding a school bus is offered to all qualifying students contingent upon the students following the bus rules. The Transportation Security Supervisor manages bus discipline and is responsible for the administration of discipline. Driver responsibility for student conduct begins when the student is recognizable at the designated stop. Even though the Transportation Security Supervisor will have the main responsibility, it is still imperative that the driver establishes a good and effective management system with the students.

A. BUS CONDUCT/STUDENT RELATED REPORTING Report all student related issues in the Bus Conduct Program. They will be processed accordingly.
