Bus Rules and Range of Consequences

For the expected behaviors at school, which extend to the school bus, click here for the CHCCS Code of Conduct.

What happens if my child breaks the bus rules?

• Consequences for inappropriate behavior on the bus depend upon the infraction. Consequences may range from driver/student conference, change of seating, to removal from the bus. In situations where the infraction is significant, drivers will write disciplinary referrals to the appropriate grade level administrator. Depending upon the circumstances or severity not all violations begin with a warning.

What are the consequences of violating bus safety and conduct rules?

• First written report: Warning, Call to Parents
• Second written report: Five day suspension of riding privileges.
• Third written report: Ten day suspension of riding privileges.
• Fourth written report: Loss of bus service for the remainder of the year.

What is the appeals process for parents who question consequences given to their child?

• The school principal or assistant principal handles all student discipline once a written report has been made.
