그만큼 school bus is an extension of the 학교 itself. All students riding HIDOE school buses shall abide by the following rules for their own safety 그리고 safety of others. Riding the school bus is a privilege, not a right.

Hawaii Administrative Rule (HAR) 8-28 provides guidance to provide safe transportation for students by setting safety regulations relating to passenger conduct, passenger safety instructions, disciplinary procedures, and school bus driver’s responsibility and authority.

Bus Rules

At the designated school bus stop and while boarding, students shall:

• Not bring other children who will not be passengers on the bus or animals to the bus stop.
• Be on time at the designated school bus stop to help keep the bus on schedule.
• Stay off the road while waiting for the bus and conduct themselves in a safe manner while waiting.
• Not talk loudly at bus stops which may disturb nearby residents.
• Not litter or deface public or private property at bus stops.
• Not trespass on private property while waiting at bus stops.
• Line up in an orderly, single file and wait until the bus comes to a complete stop before attempting to board the bus.
• Walk on the side of the road facing traffic to get to the bus stop if there are no sidewalks.
• Not bring items on the bus that may cause injury to passengers or carry on items which cannot be stored safely under the seat.
• Use the handrail and watch their step when boarding the bus.

When leaving the bus and crossing streets, students shall observe the following procedures:

• Leave the bus only at regular bus stops, unless proper authorization has been given in advance by the 학교 principal.
• Use the handrail and watch their step when getting off the bus.
• When crossing the street at a bus stop, students shall walk 12 feet in front of the bus and look to see if the alternating red lamps on the top portion of the school bus are flashing. If the lamps are flashing, they shall look at the driver and wait for the driver to give the signal to cross. If the red lamps are not flashing, students shall not cross the street and shall notify the driver that the red warning lamps are not working and ask the driver for assistance in crossing the street.

Students shall ride designated buses at specified times and locations as assigned.

버스 안전

We strongly recommend that a responsible adult be present at the bus stop in the morning and in the afternoon for children 10 and under. Bus drivers are not responsible to match each child with a specific adult at the bus stops. 

It is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to ensure a responsible adult is at the bus stop or make alternative arrangements for their child if they are unable to walk alone to and from the bus stop.

Riding the Bus

• Get to the bus stop at least five minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive.
• When the bus approaches, stand at least six feet away from the curb.
• If you have to cross the street in front of the bus, be sure to use a pedestrian crosswalk.  
• When exiting the bus, be careful that loose clothing or clothing with drawstrings and book bags with straps don’t get caught in the handrails or doors.
• Never walk behind the bus.
• After you get off the bus, walk at least 10 feet away from the side of the bus.
• If you drop something near the bus, tell the bus driver. Never try to pick it up because the driver may not be able to see you.
• Students on the bus should be courteous to the driver and other riders on board. Talk quietly and follow the driver’s instructions. Always use headphones when listening to music or watching videos on the bus. 
• 집 주소, 부모님/보호자의 전화번호, 신뢰할 수 있는 어른의 전화번호, 그리고 긴급 상황 시 911에 신고하는 방법을 알아두세요.

Walking to a Bus Stop

• Plan a walking route to the bus stop. Choose the most direct way with the fewest street crossings and use intersections with designated crosswalks. Test the route. Stay away from parks, vacant lots, fields and other places where there aren’t many people around.
• 도로를 건너기 전에는 항상 왼쪽을 먼저 확인하고, 오른쪽을 먼저 확인한 다음 다시 왼쪽을 확인하고, 도로를 안전하게 건널 수 있을 만큼 충분한 시간을 두십시오.
• 낯선 사람과 이야기하지 말고, 낯선 사람에게서 승차권이나 선물을 받지 마세요.

규율

Students who misbehave on the bus may be denied rides and shall be subject to disciplinary action as defined in 제19장 of Hawaiʻi Administrative Rules. 

When the 학교 receives a School Bus Incident Report, the principal will conduct an investigation of the incident and notify the parents and/or guardians of the outcome. If the child is precluded from riding the school bus as a result of the principal’s disciplinary action, a refund will not be issued for the unused portion of the bus pass. 

Video monitoring and GPS are active on all school bus vehicles to assist with incident report tracking and documentation.
