Is a bus driver alowed to discharge a kid off the bus with no other adults miles from home/school etc?!

Asked by Annie almost 7 years ago

Define "miles". Most people have a misconception of how far a student is actually allowed to walk and in most states it is right at a mile or a little less. That being said, if the bus left a child on the side of the road without it being a legal bus stop then they are not allowed to do that. However, if you're upset your child had to walk a little bit in inclement weather, please join us or decide to drive them yourself.

Can the bus driver get off the bus in the middle of the route while there are children on the bus and go into a gas station, leaving the kids alone?

Asked by Rayne over 6 years ago

Generally speaking no its not advised however if there was an emergency situation like a kid having a seizure and they needed to get help, then I would consider that a grey area.

Why is my bus driver a bitch

Asked by Pam over 6 years ago

Ask her?

Honestly I think its better then a driver who sits there and does nothing and lets people act how they want even if it makes someone unsafe or uncomfortable.

Asked by John over 6 years ago

Very true. Having some form of discipline is better than nothing.
