REGULATION

BUS  SAFETY  PROGRAM

A.A.C. 13-13-104 states, with respect to the authority of bus drivers, "Any person boarding or attempting to board a school bus, whether or not a passenger, shall comply with all instructions given by a school bus driver.  If a passenger or nonpassenger boards or attempts to board a school bus and refuses to comply with the school bus driver's instructions, the school bus driver may seek emergency assistance to remove the passenger or non-passenger from the school bus, or prevent the passenger or non-passenger from boarding."

Student behavior on a school bus should be the same as that in a well-ordered classroom with the exception that students are free to talk, but with no screaming or shouting.
