A School Bus Incident Report is sent to parents each time an incident occurs. A discussion with the parent/guardians will occur with each incident. A copy of the report is filed with the principal and the bus supervisor. The bus driver may seek counsel from the principal. However, the ultimate authority rests with the driver. If an issue cannot be satisfactorily resolved between the driver and the parent/guardian or child, the transportation supervisor is to be called.
