SCHOOL BUS SCHEDULING AND ROUTING

The bus operator, the supervisor of transportation, and the principal shall work together in establishing bus stops subject to the approval of the Superintendent.  Main thoroughfares, lack of sidewalks, railroads, and other hazards shall be considered in any decisions regarding bus stops.

Each operator shall establish a reasonable time schedule for each route and shall be expected to adhere to this schedule.  By the same token, students shall be expected to be at their respective bus stops when the bus arrives.

Once a bus route has been established, the bus operator shall not alter or change assigned routes without order of the supervisor of transportation.

Buses must be routed so that no more than one bus will travel the same route, except in cases of definite apparent necessity.  Each scheduled route will be planned in full consideration of the established limits for individual schools.

All deviations from this policy must be brought to the Iberville Parish School Board's atten­tion for review and consideration prior to implementation.

During inclement weather bus operators should make more frequent stops.  In discharging students who must cross the highway, the responsibility of safe crossing rests with the operator.
