Code No. 712.5
DISCRETIONAL STOPS BY SCHOOL VEHICLES
The school district is required to provide a certain level of transportation service to its resident students. The school district has complete discretion to provide additional transportation service to its resident and other students.
This school district transportation service may, at the discretion of the board, make special stops on its bus route as a courtesy to the passengers. Changes in the bus route for discretionary stops must be reviewed by the board.
It shall be the responsibility of the superintendent to make a recommendation as to whether a school vehicle will make a discretionary stop. In making this recommendation, the superintendent shall consider the safety of the students, the size of the school buses, the length of the route, the cost to the school district, and other factors deemed relevant by the board or superintendent.
