Transportation Guidelines
Transportation for students is provided in accordance with the requirements of law and Board Policy. Lebanon School District is primarily a walking district. Bus transportation is provided to students whose home address meets the distance requirements of 1.5 miles or more for elementary and 2 miles or more for secondary. Students must ride on the bus to which they are assigned and only utilize their designated bus stop.
Students with transportation included in their IEP, are placed in foster care, or who are identified as homeless, may also be eligible for transportation by bus or van.
Students must be outside waiting for their bus or van approximately 10 minutes before their scheduled pickup time. Buses and vans will not wait or return for students who are not at the stop on time.
Procedures for Releasing K-4 & K-5 Students from Buses
If you have a 4 or 5 year old kindergarten child who rides the bus, you or a responsible adult, must be at the bus stop for that child. Bus drivers must ask all children they believe to be in kindergarten to point out the person picking them up. If the child and driver do not see this person, the drivers have been instructed to return that child to school and the parent will be responsible for picking the child up at school. This is for the safety of the children.
Transportation for Students in Non-Public Schools
Pennsylvania law requires school districts to transport any school-aged child enrolled in non-public schools within ten miles of District and residing within its boundaries, if transportation is provided to the district’s own students. Transportation for non-public school students is available upon request by completing the Non-Public Transportation Request form. Please contact the school your child attends or the Lebanon School District Transportation Coordinator for more information.
Audio/Video on Buses & Vans
All Krise Transportation buses and vans used to transport students are equipped with video and audio recording equipment for safety and security reasons. The use of school buses and vans constitutes consent by students and their parents to the District’s audio/video monitoring.
Bus Rules
• Obey driver’s instructions immediately and respectfully.
• No eating or drinking on the bus.
• Students must sit in their assigned seats.
• Remain seated while the bus is in motion.
• Keep all objects and body parts inside the bus, out of the aisle and to yourself.
• Use appropriate language at all times.
• No yelling.
Consequences for Misbehavior
Drivers will complete a Bus Conduct Report for disciplinary incidents on school buses and vans. This report will be given to the building principle who will decide if disciplinary action is necessary. A copy of the report will also be sent to the parent and transportation office. Audio/video footage will be viewed if needed.
Transportation is a privilege, not a right. If the conduct of the student, while riding the bus or van, is such that it jeopardizes the safety of others, or is otherwise undesirable, this privilege may be denied. In such cases, it then becomes the responsibility of the parent to transport that student to and from school.
