Consequences of Distracting Behaviour

To maintain a safe environment, any behaviour that distracts the driver will be addressed

promptly. The following consequences will apply to students who engage in distracting

behaviour:

Verbal Warning: The driver will pull the bus over and explain the importance of maintaining safe behaviour. It is important to note that the driver will address the entire bus; given their focus on the road ahead they are unlikely to have identified the source of the distraction.
Report to School Staff: The behaviour will be reported to the school bus controller and the Uzabus Branch Manager, who will also record the event in EasyBus.
Parental Notification: Parents will be notified of the behaviour.
Within-School Actions: Where appropriate, action may be taken within school hours to disincentivise distracting behaviour.
On-bus Actions: Where appropriate, a seat assignment may be implemented where the driver and/or school believe that the risk of recurrence will be reduced.
Stand-down: Students may face a short-term stand-down from riding the bus.
Permanent Removal: Repeated or severe infractions may result in complete removal of bus privileges.
