Student Bus Rider Conduct Policy

In order to provide safe and efficient transportation we need the help and cooperation of both students and parents. The safety of your child on the bus is a serious matter. We must implement certain rules and expectations in order to ensure that our students travel safely without incident. Students who engage in any type of misbehavior will be reported to the Bus Supervisors. The school and the transportation company acknowledge that students riding the bus are under the authority of the school bus driver. Please review the rules and expectations with your child.

Transportation will be provided from designated pick-up and drop-off points and will not be a door-to-door service. Transportation is a privilege and not a legal right, and as such, the privilege may be withheld by the school under certain circumstances. Please be aware that students may be videotaped while riding the school bus for safety. All students who reside in Worcester or live within the charter region (Auburn, Holden, Leicester, Millbury, Oxford, Shrewsbury, Sutton, and West Boylston) are eligible for bus transportation services.

We strive to attain and maintain a safe and controlled environment for your child at all times throughout the school day. To this end, please be advised that the Abby Kelley Foster Charter Public School reserves the right to utilize video and/or audio recording devices on buses for purposes of monitoring student behavior.
