Policy in Practice : School Bus Discipline Rules and Regulations
The following rules and regulations have been adopted by the Anoka- Hennepin District 11 School Board . It is hoped that these guidelines will help us to provide safe transportation to and from school for your student . Students should be at the bus stop five minutes prior to the scheduled time . As per Minnesota Statute 123B . 90 “ Riding a school bus is a privilege , not a right ”.
Students who have the opportunity to ride district school buses may do so as long as they display behavior that is reasonable and safe . Choosing to engage in unacceptable behavior will result in loss of bus service . The bus driver is responsible for the safety and discipline of students on the bus . The building principal is available to give assistance to the driver and will determine the consequences of misbehavior , and the reinstatement of bus service for the offending student ( s ) should a suspension become necessary . A suspension applies to all buses unless otherwise designated by school officials . The responsibility for student supervision by the district shall begin when the student boards the bus in the morning and is retained until the child leaves the bus at the end of the day , or until released to the parent / guardian in a manner consistent with guidelines on release of students .
