Bus Information and RulesBus schedules were posted near the front office on Registration Day. If you did not get bus
information, you may download a copy of the bus schedules from the DeKalb County website. Check the schedule for the bus number and time that your child will be picked up and dropped off each day. Our main concern is the safety and welfare of all children on the school buses. We appreciate the cooperation of parents and children in helping us maintain these standards. The following rules and procedures pertain to all children at Kingsley Charter School who ride a school bus. 1. Bus stops are placed at and beyond a 1 ½ mile radius of a school. The DeKalb School's Department of Transportation has the responsibility for determining bus stops and routes. 2. Students must ride the bus they are assigned. NOTE: Any time a student rides a bus different from his/her regular bus, a written request from his/her parent must be given to the homeroom teacher and to the bus driver. 3. Students must board and leave the bus at specified stops each day. 4. Students must remain on the school campus once they unload from the bus in the morning. 5. The bus driver is completely in charge of the bus from the time the students load until they leave the bus. The driver has the same responsibility and authority on the bus as the teacher does in the classroom. 6. The bus driver may recommend to the principal that a student be suspended from riding the bus. The principal makes the final decision as to the suspension or further discipline. If a student is suspended from riding the bus, he/she is still expected to attend school. It is the parents' responsibility to transport the student to and from school. | Links |
