8.1.b. All students shall be transported until the parent/guardian has been properly notified about the suspension.

8.1.c. A suspended student shall be readmitted to the bus only after the principal/designee notifies the operator that the student may be readmitted. Parents/guardians will also be notified by the school principal/designee when their child may resume riding the bus.

8.1.d. If a student has been recommended for discipline three times in one year by the operator, a conference to discuss the student's disruptive behavior patterns shall be conducted. During the conference, the parent/guardian shall be present with the operator and the principal/designee. If the inappropriate behavior persists, the student's rights to transportation services may be suspended for the remainder of the year, to the extent feasible.
