AUTHORIZED PASSENGERS

The Monroe City School Board directs that students shall not be allowed to ride to and from school on any bus other than the one to which they have been assigned to ride, except for legitimate reasons.  To ride a different bus, or to leave the bus at a different location than the student's regular stop, the student shall be required to submit written permission from the student's parent and have approval of the principal of the school where the student attends.  The principal shall inform the bus driver of the student's destination and stop.  Approval of the request shall be predicated on the availability of adequate seating accommodations on the school bus.

No one other than students shall be allowed to ride buses to and from school.  With the exception of school personnel and chaperons, adults shall not be permitted to ride buses to any authorized school activity, such as athletic events, band concerts, etc.
