SCHOOL BUS POLICIES Bus transportation is provided for all students who qualify within the county guidelines from Wheeler High School. Routes and times will be posted by the bus port of the school. Safety rules and regulations have been developed to ensure the rights of all students who are eligible to ride the bus, but it is also their responsibility to follow these rules. When rules are broken, the privilege of riding the bus will be interrupted. Students who ride a bus are under the jurisdiction of the school from the time they arrive at the bus stop. The bus stop is still part of the CCSD jurisdiction. Cobb County rules for bus conduct must always be followed. Improper behavior on a school bus can result in suspension from bus transportation and / or from school for a given time.
