TRANSPORTATION
The Transportation Manager and designated administrator shall develop a set of rules and regulations for student conduct while using district-provided transportation.
Infractions of the conduct rules covering the use of district-provided transportation may result in a student being denied the use of district transportation facilities. Whenever possible, parents shall be informed when this denial of use of facilities is being considered by the school and given an opportunity to work with their child in order to improve the behavior on school transportation.
Damage to equipment
Students and their parents or legal guardian shall be held financially responsible for student-inflicted damage to transportation equipment.
Intra-district transferring of students
Transfer students electing to attend a school other than their regular attendance school shall assume responsibility (or their parents shall) for any necessary transportation. Such students may apply for a seat on an existing transportation run, if it does not result in a violation of the State Safety Code or the establishment of a change in bus run or bus stop.
Volunteer drivers
With the approval of a building administrator, Bloomfield Hills Schools students who have passed their eighteenth birthdays may be used as volunteer drivers for field trips and other school-related activities, provided they possess a valid Michigan driver license and can show proof of insurance.
Students between the ages of 16 and 18 may be used as volunteer drivers with prior approval of the building administrator and parents of driver and passengers. The student must possess a valid Michigan driver license and proof of insurance.
Building principals may approve adult siblings to be volunteer drivers as long as these individuals possess valid Michigan driver licenses and proof of insurance.
Parents may be used as volunteer drivers as long as they possess a valid driver license and proof of insurance.
In all cases where building administrator and/or parental approval is required, this must occur before the actual trip.
