District Bus Policy

Busing Guidelines

 

Public Health Order (Effective July 17, 2020): "Each individual, including an employee, student, or visitor, on school property or on a school bus shall wear a face covering."  Contact school administrator regarding exceptions. 

 

Busing Procedures

Due to liability and safety concerns, the district strictly adheres to the busing procedure set forth by the Weber School District, the Utah State Office of Education and Risk Management.

The procedure states that school bus drivers are not authorized to allow eligible students, those who are assigned to their bus route, to be dropped off or picked up at unauthorized bus stops nor to allow students not assigned to their bus route to ride the school bus. Ineligible students, those who do not qualify for busing services, are also not allowed to ride the school bus to or from school.

Transporting students to such activities as parties, scouts, sleepovers, achievement days, piano lessons, daycare, etc. will not be allowed. The school bus is only to be used for transporting eligible students to and from their registered residence.
