Misbehavior on Bus:

The privilege of riding a school bus in Metro is one that can be revoked if the Rules of Conduct are not followed. These rules extend to school bus stops, as well as on the bus itself. Violation of these rules and other misbehavior should be reported to the Principal of the school to which the bus runs. Students are subject to removal from the bus for a period of one to ten days. Continued rules violation and discipline issues can result in permanent loss of school bus transportation privileges.
