Pupil Transportation Information
School bus transportation is provided for students who live in the city of MPLS. Bus safety is a team effort. Following are some expectations we have of our students to ensure that all students are provided with a safe and comfortable bus ride. 

• Cross 10 feet in front of the bus. Wait for the bus driver's signal
• Get on or off only at designated stop.
• Follow instructions and cooperate with the bus driver.
• Stay seated in assigned seat at all times.
• Eating or drinking on the bus is prohibited.
• Keep the bus litter-free. Throwing of any items on the bus is a safety hazard.
• Keep prohibited items off the bus (i.e., weapons, live animals, glass items, large recreational items). Keep the bus aisle and exits clear.
• Talk quietly and use appropriate language.
• Respect the bus and equipment. Students will be responsible for cost of damages. Bus riding privileges will be withheld until plan of restitution is made.
• Respect other students and their personal belongings. 

Our goal is to provide appropriate transportation for our students. We will not allow students to harass or jeopardize the safety of others on the bus. Discipline or suspension of bus riding privileges will occur for students who do not cooperate. If suspension occurs, students are still required to attend school. Parents will then be responsible for transportation to and from school. Parents will than be responsible for the transportation to and from school. Transportation by school bus is a privilege not a right for an eligible student. (Minnesota Statutes, Sec 4 123.801).
