The School District of Greenville County must safely transport all bus riders to and from school. Bus riders will be denied the privilege of riding the bus if their behavior is unacceptable or infringes on the rights of other bus riders. The following behaviors are not permitted on buses:

1. Riding the bus when the student has been suspended
2. Riding a bus other than that assigned
3. Disobeying the instructions of the driver
4. Physical or verbal abuse of the driver or displays of disrespect
