Student Misconduct Reports
1. After exhausting all other reasonable means of
discipline, the bus driver should fill out a "Bus
Conduct Report". The form should list the student's name
and the offense he/she committed. The form will be given
to the student's Principal.
2. Upon the Principal's completion of the investigation,
the "Bus Conduct Report" form will be completed and the
parents will be notified of any action taken.
3. A completed form will be sent to the parents of the
student involved. One copy will be filed in the
student's folder and one copy will be returned to the
driver
4. When the infraction is of such a nature that riding
privileges are lost, the student will not be allowed to
resume riding the bus until the number of school days
that was assigned by the Principal have passed.
5. No student will be put off the bus between home and
school or between school and home. If a situation arises
that is beyond the control of the driver, he/she will
notify the transportation office and ask for assistance.
If the situation can be handled with the Principal the
following morning, the route will be completed without
delays.
Student Discipline Strategies
The following suggested steps should deal with the four
major discipline offenses by the number of referrals.
Safety
First Referral

b. Conference with student
Second Referral
a. Call and letter to parents that student is in danger
of losing bus privileges
b. Student warning
Third Referral
a. Parent call
b. Student loses bus privileges for three (3) days
c. Any other referrals for the same offense would
increase the number of days off bus.
Profanity

a. Parent call
b. Student conference
Second Referral
a. Parent call and letter to parents
b. Three (3) days off the bus
Third Referral
a. Parent call
b. Ten (10) days off the bus
c. Any other referrals for the same offense would
increase the number of days off bus.
Disrespect

a. Parent call
b. Student conference
Second Referral
a. Parent call and letter
b. Two (2) days off the bus
Third Referral
a. Parent call
b. Five (5) days off the bus
c. Any other referrals for the same offense would
increase the number of days off bus.
Assault
First Referral

b. Three (3) days off the bus
Second Referral

b. Ten (10) days off the bus
Third Referral

The results of these four types of offenses and
behaviors could be harmful and even deadly. Disorder can
produce hazardous bus rides by diverting the driver's
attention away from his/her task — DRIVING THE BUS IN A
CAREFUL AND EFFICIENT MANNER. Minimizing the disruptions
that occur on school buses is one way to improve
transportation safety.
Parents can be of great assistance in providing safe and
efficient transportation for all children by (1)
supporting the school administration and the bus driver;
(2) accepting joint responsibility with the school
administration and the bus driver for maintaining proper
conduct of children while they are boarding, riding or
leaving the school bus.
Again, it is the goal of the Allen Independent School
District to provide safe transportation for each
eligible child. Safety in transportation includes proper
student behavior while on the bus. Proper behavior by
all passengers allows the driver to concentrate on
driving and the students to arrive safely at their
destination. We invite you to help us in our goal of
safely transporting the students of Allen I.S.D. by
reviewing this with your child.
