Pupils who refuse to obey the directions of the bus driver promptly or refuse to obey regulations shall forfeit their right to ride on the busses. Students are required to be prepared to board the bus when it arrives and not create a delay for the bus drivers. 

Northern Adirondack Central School provides transportation to and from school and CV- TECH as a privilege to our students. The safety of our students is the primary concern. All guidelines are established to ensure that safety and control by the bus driver is maintained throughout the trip. Students are expected to conduct themselves in a reasonable manner whenever they ride a bus. The following guidelines will be followed:

  1. Riders must follow the driver’s instructions at all times. 

  2. Riders must remain seated while the bus is in motion. 

  3. Riders will keep their hands to themselves. 

  4. Riders will speak appropriately, both in volume and in language. 

  5. Riders will abide by other guidelines as established by the individual drivers. 

Drivers have been instructed to report misbehavior to the administration and disciplinary action will be taken as follows:
