BUS REGULATIONS

Students getting on bus

Transportation to and from school is a privilege provided to students by the Salida Union School District. Firm standards of discipline must be maintained at all times for safety reasons. Whenever a driver is distracted, children's safety is in danger. Foremost in our minds is the safety of each passenger.

BUS RULES AND REGULATIONS

  • Students are to arrive at the bus stop on time.
  • Students are not to interfere with other students or property at the bus stop.
  • Students are to stand in a safe area away from traffic.
  • Students are to enter the bus in an orderly manner and go directly to their seats.
  • Students are not to enter the bus at any time without the permission of the driver.
  • Students are to stay in their seats, sit back, face front, and keep body parts and personal items out of aisle at all times.
  • When exiting the bus, students are to remain seated until the bus comes to a complete stop.
  • All students are to get on and off at their regularly designated bus stop.
  • Students are to remain quiet at all railroad crossings.
  • All school rules (including dress code) will be enforced on the bus.

The following actions/items are prohibited on the bus:

  • Tampering, defacing, and damaging the bus or bus equipment.
  • Eating, drinking, and chewing gum.
  • Littering and throwing objects on or out of the bus (VC 23113).

  • Excessive noise, fighting, horseplay, scuffling, etc.

Violations of any rules may result in disciplinary action such as, but not limited to, seat assignment, bus citation, and/or suspension from school.  Rules and/or citations are subject to change without notice.
