Bus Transportation Procedures

Bus transportation is provided for any student living 1.5 miles or more from our school.  Riding the bus is a privilege.  However, if rules are not followed, it is a privilege that can and will be revoked.  Ms. Sharon Harris, the Bus Transportation Supervisor, will be happy to discuss any concerns with you.  She may be reached by phone at Aiken High School at 803-641-2507 during the school day. 

The standard consequences for breaking the rules are:

First offense

Written warning

Second offense

  Final warning

Third offense

1 day bus suspension

Fourth offense

3 day bus suspension

Fifth offense

5 day bus suspension

Sixth offense

10 day bus suspension

Seventh offense

Suspended from bus the remainder of school year

The consequences may be more stringent based upon the severity of the violation.  Each time a student receives a bus disciplinary report, the parent must sign and return it to school.  Offenses are cumulative.  For further information, please refer to the Code of Student Conduct.
