The school district shall utilize three-point lap-shoulder belts on school district buses as required by state law. All three-point lap-shoulder belts available on school district buses will be used by passengers when the vehicle is in any non-stationary gear.
All students will receive instruction on the proper use of seat belts during the twice annual bus safety drills. Students who may require assistance in using seat belts should ask the bus driver for help, so that all students are safely belted in their seat before the bus is in motion. Drivers will announce prior to the bus leaving that each student needs to be in their seat with the seat belt fastened.
Students refusing to use seat belts create a safety concern for themselves and others and are subject to school district disciplinary actions. Repeated refusal to wear seat belts can result in suspension from bus riding privileges.
