Question:

Can my child be disciplined for behavior on the school bus?

Answer:

According to Maryland State Discipline Regulations, each local board of education has the authority to adopt policies to create safe schools. These policies should reflect a philosophy of fostering positive behavior and describe conduct that may lead to suspension or expulsion. The school should provide intervention and support to address a student’s behavior if they are disruptive or commit offenses, including positive behavior interventions and supports, behavior intervention plans, and referrals to support teams.
