Extracurricular Transportation Discipline
Before departure on each activity trip, all students provided with transportation by the Charter School will be instructed on the location of all emergency exits and their operation. This instruction will include a general review of safe riding practices, rules, and procedures.
Students must follow all school bus rules with this exception: Food and drink not in glass containers will be allowed on the bus with permission of the Executive Director. However, any debris must be cleaned up at the end of the trip and before students leave the bus.
If a student causes a disruption or hazard on the bus, a hearing will be held with the Executive Director, driver, instructor, coach or adult sponsor, parent/guardian, and student. The driver, instructor, coach or adult sponsor, parent/guardian, and the student will have the opportunity to share with the Executive Director their perceptions of the problem. If the Executive Director finds that there has been an infraction of bus rules, he or she will take the following action:
- On the first infraction, the student will be warned that following any further infraction he or she will be declared ineligible for transportation to the extracurricular or co-curricular activities for one event;
- On the second infraction during a semester, the student will be declared ineligible for transportation to the extracurricular or co-curricular activity for one event; and
- On the third infraction during a semester, the student will be declared ineligible for transportation to the extracurricular or co-curricular activities for the remainder of the semester.
Based on the severity of the problem as it relates to respect and safety for others, the Executive Director may bypass step #1 and/or step #2 above and immediately declare the student ineligible for transportation for two weeks or for the remainder of the semester.
