The School Committee and its staff share with students and parents the responsibility for student safety during transportation to and from school. The authority for enforcing School Committee requirements of student conduct on buses will rest with the principal.
To ensure the safety of all students who ride in buses, it may occasionally be necessary to revoke the privilege of transportation from a student who abuses this privilege. Parents of children whose behavior and misconduct on school buses endangers the health, safety, and welfare of other riders will be notified that their children face the loss of transportation privileges in accordance with regulations approved by the School Committee.
The policy of the Brockton School Committee regarding student conduct on school buses is that the school day begins when the pupil leaves home and ends when the pupil returns to his/her home. Consequently, pupils are under the jurisdiction of the school administration during this entire period.
For this reason, a set of rules and regulations has been promulgated to insure the safety and well being of the bus pupil. If a pupil does not abide by these rules and regulations, the privilege of riding the school bus may be temporarily or permanently forfeited.
