Student Handbook - Cory-Rawson Local Schools

The bus driver may institute and apply additional rules as needed to maintain safety and
order.
The bus drivers should, as far as possible, handle their own discipline problems.
However, if misbehavior continues the following procedures will be followed to assure
safety on the bus:
• The bus driver will give a verbal warning(s) to the student for minor infractions of the
bus rules.
• A written notice will be filed with the principal, appropriate action will be taken and
the parent will receive a copy of the notice.
• Repetition of minor infractions or a major incident may result in assigned detentions
or removal from the bus for a short period of time.
• A bus suspension may be appropriate for safety reasons, with or without prior
warning when deemed appropriate. Parents will be notified prior to the suspension
and given the opportunity to meet with the appropriate administrator and
transportation personnel.
SEARCHES
The school maintains the right to search the desks, person and personal belongings of a
student on school grounds or at a school activity. Searches will only be made upon
reasonable cause and suspicion of a code of conduct violation by the student. If possible
and as appropriate, the student should be present and give consent to the search.
FIRE AND EMERGENCY DRILLS
Ohio law requires that all schools conduct regular, periodic fire and emergency weather
drills. The directions for where students are to go in case of a drill will be given to them
by their classroom teachers and directions are posted in each room. When given the
signal for a drill, students are to proceed quickly, orderly and quietly to their assigned
area.
COMPUTER GUIDELINES
Students and staff are encouraged to make the best use of the computer system. To that
end, we believe that the computers are here to enhance the education of the students and
are not to be seen as toys or means of entertainment.
OBJECTIONABLE MATERIALS/COURSE OF STUDY
The Board of Education recognizes that a course of study or certain instructional
materials may contain content and/or activities that some parents find objectionable. If
after careful, personal review of the program lessons and/or materials, a parent files a
complaint in accordance with Board Policy 9130 regarding either the content or activities
conflicting with his/her religious beliefs or value system, the school will honor a written
