Student Behavior

Muscogee County School District has adopted a zero-tolerance approach to misbehavior on the bus.  Each student riding a bus is expected to follow the same rules of courtesy and good conduct as in the classroom.  These rules are necessary for the safety of everyone who rides. Infractions of the rules are documented by the driver on a discipline notice, and turned in at the school office for the administrator to handle. Bus drivers are not authorized to suspend students; that decision rests with the principal.  The principal's decision is final.
