Transportation

Transportation is provided for all district students. Hermon-DeKalb Central School District has an obligation to provide students with proper and safe transportation to and from school.

Likewise students are responsible for conducting themselves in a manner, which will ensure the safety and comfort of all passengers. Actions such as fighting, yelling, throwing objects, use of abusive language, moving from seat to seat, smoking, or other objectionable behavior may result in the loss of the privilege of riding the bus.

The Discipline Consequences as indicated below apply to bus riders. Video cameras are used on school buses and the contents of the tapes may be used to discipline students.
