SCHOOL BUS CONDUCT

The Jefferson Davis Parish School Board directs the principal to assume full responsibility for discipline of students riding buses.  It is the duty of the operator, in case of any infraction of rules by any student, to notify the principal of the school the student attends.  If possible, this must be done in person.  It is the responsibility of the principal to determine necessary punishment to students violating regulations.

If found necessary, the principal may suspend bus privileges.  Any parent of a student suspended from riding a school bus shall have the right to appeal to the Superintendent, who shall conduct a hearing on the merits of the bus suspension.

A student damaging a school bus shall be subject to suspension from school.  Any student suspended for damages to any school bus shall be required to make retribution for such damages.

At no time shall the bus operator assume authority for suspending bus privileges.  Smoking on school buses by students or operators shall not be permitted.  Students shall be notified of all bus regulations.
