Bus routes are established under the direction of the Superintendent and in accord with recommendations of the Division of Pupil Transportation, Georgia Department of Education.<\/p>\n<p>Additions to existing routes are based upon the following guidelines:<\/p>\n<p>(1) The student must live at least 3\/10 miles from the present bus route and,<\/p>\n<p>(2) The student must live on a state or county maintained road with adequate space for the bus to turn around and,<\/p>\n<p>(3) The road must be wide enough for the bus and another vehicle to pass.<\/p>\n<p>Students are assigned to a particular bus route and can only change buses with the approval of the Principal and the Transportation Department. Students must get on and get off from their assigned bus at selected bus stops unless written permission is granted to let off at a stop other than the designated stop. This request from the parent must be made in writing to the principal. Parents will assume the responsibility of the child when such a request is granted.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kvuz88rr-b9d8e3d46340dc21545b47a93992801e\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-kvuz88rr-b9d8e3d46340dc21545b47a93992801e{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-kvuz88rr-b9d8e3d46340dc21545b47a93992801e .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-kvuz88rr-b9d8e3d46340dc21545b47a93992801e .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-kvuz88rr-b9d8e3d46340dc21545b47a93992801e av-special-heading-h3  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  >Board Bus Discipline Policy (JCDAD)<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-kvuz8ncw-6cbd44790c3b34cdc80ba660bcc99481 '  ><div class='avia_textblock' ><p>The transportation of students is an important function in our\u00a0school system. Every precaution must be taken to see that\u00a0students are transported safely. The same behavior is\u00a0expected on the school bus as is expected in the classroom.\u00a0The Code of Conduct and Discipline Procedures that apply\u00a0for the school, also apply while students are being\u00a0transported by any vehicle provided for the transportation of\u00a0students. In addition, it is important that students abide by\u00a0the bus discipline policies as outlined herein.<\/p>\n<p>Fighting on the bus and abusive language or profanity\u00a0toward the bus driver will result in a minimum of five days\u00a0suspension from the bus. A student whose behavior\u00a0warrants that the bus return to the school will be suspended\u00a0from riding the bus for a minimum of twenty (20) school\u00a0days.<\/p>\n<p>Bus Drivers will report specific disciplinary problems to the\u00a0principal or assistant principal in writing on the Bus Conduct\u00a0Report Form. If the driver is uncertain about who was unruly\u00a0or who caused the disturbance, the driver will report the\u00a0incident to the principal for investigation. After the principal\u00a0administers the proper disciplinary action, a copy of the Bus\u00a0Conduct Report Form will be forwarded to the parent, the\u00a0bus driver, and the Transportation Supervisor that day or the\u00a0following school day. This form will indicate the action taken\u00a0by the principal. The principal will maintain a file of the Bus\u00a0Conduct Report Form.<\/p>\n<p>As required by Georgia law, a student found to have\u00a0engaged in physical acts of violence* shall be subject to the\u00a0penalties determined by a tribunal. If a student is found to\u00a0have engaged in bullying or in physical assault or battery of\u00a0another person on the school bus, a meeting involving\u00a0the\u00a0parent\/guardian and appropriate school district officials shall\u00a0be held to develop a school bus behavior contract. This\u00a0contract shall provide for progressive age-appropriate\u00a0discipline, penalties, and restrictions for student misconduct\u00a0on the bus. Contract provisions may include but shall not be\u00a0limited to assigned seating, ongoing parental involvement,\u00a0and suspension from riding the bus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0It shall be the responsibility of all principals to abide by the\u00a0following procedure for enforcing the bus conduct policy:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 FIRST OFFENSE: The principal shall take proper\u00a0disciplinary action, which may include suspension\u00a0from riding the bus, based on the nature or severity\u00a0of the offense.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 SECOND OFFENSE: The principal shall suspend\u00a0the student from\u00a0riding the bus for at least five (5)\u00a0school days.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0THIRD OFFENSE: The principal shall suspend the\u00a0student from riding the bus for at least ten (10)\u00a0school days.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 FOURTH OFFENSE: The principal shall suspend\u00a0the student from riding the bus for at least twenty\u00a0(20) school days.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 FIFTH OFFENSE: The principal shall suspend the\u00a0student from riding the bus for at least sixty (60)\u00a0school days.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0 SIXTH OFFENSE: The principal shall suspend the\u00a0student from riding the bus for at least one hundred\u00a0eighty (180) school days.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">*STUDENTS WHO ARE SUSPENDED FROM THE BUS\u00a0ARE SUSPENDED FROM ALL BUSES.\u00a0UNSERVED SUSPENSION WILL CARRY OVER TO THE\u00a0NEXT SCHOOL YEAR.*<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4141 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"\" width=\"25\" height=\"25\" data-src=\"http:\/\/www.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/PDF_Icon_32x32.png\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hallco.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2024-25-HCSD-School-Bus-Guide-English-Spanish-Vietnamese.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2024-25 HCSD School Bus Guide English Spanish Vietnamese<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5546","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
