The school bus is an extension of the school itself. All students riding HIDOE school buses shall abide by the following rules for their own safety and the 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.

Saogalemu pasi

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.

When the school 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.
