What’s in it
AI summary If a student is removed from a school bus because of their behavior, the bus driver must quickly tell the school. Once the school knows, they must keep trying to contact the student's parent or guardian until they successfully reach them. This process ensures parents are told exactly why their child was removed and where they are located.1
Read the official explanation
This bill requires the driver of a school bus to immediately notify a school district or nonpublic school when a student is removed from a school bus due to the student’s behavior. The notification shall be carried out once the removal occurs and the student is in a safe location. The school district or nonpublic school shall immediately attempt to notify the parent or guardian of the student of the circumstances of the removal and present location and shall continue such attempts until the parent or guardian is successfully notified.
