STUDENT CONDUCT ON BUSES
All Evansville Community School District Board of Education policies concerning student behavior also pertain to conduct on the bus. Each year during annual registration, parent(s)/guardian(s) and their students are required to read this policy and sign off indicating that their student(s) will abide by these rules. This includes students who are not regular riders but who participate in school sponsored events involving bus transportation.
The following rules for student conduct on buses, shall be published in each school’s student handbook:
- Students shall be on time for the bus. Students shall board the afternoon bus at the school that they attend.
- Students shall be careful when approaching bus stops, walking on the left toward oncoming traffic. If students cross the road, they must do so in front of the bus and after the bus driver signals they can cross.
- Students shall be courteous to the bus driver and fellow students. Students shall take their assigned seats without disturbing other students. Students shall sit down keeping the aisle clear. Students shall not extend any part of their body out of the bus windows.
- Students shall not possess harmful objects and/or illegal substances. All personal property (e.g. toys, games, etc.) brought on the bus shall be at the expense of the owner if lost, stolen, and/or damaged. Neither the bus company nor the District shall accept responsibility for the loss of personal items.
- Students shall care for the bus properly by helping to keep it clean and orderly. Students who vandalize and/or cause damage to buses shall pay for the cost of repair(s) and/or replacement(s).
- Students shall listen to and obey directions from the bus driver. Excessive noise, fighting, pushing, tripping, inappropriate language, and disorderly conduct are prohibited.
