Caroline County Public Schools  transports approximately 5,600 children on 57 buses to and from school, traveling over 3,300 miles every school day. We take great pride in our drivers, their training, and our equipment maintenance programs that are designed for the safety of our students.

Please check our FAQs for information. Should you have a concern that is not addressed below, we ask that you help us document issues by completing the Transportation Concern Form. Once submitted, the form will go to the Transportation Department to be reviewed. We look forward to helping you!

Transportation Concern Form

At the bus stop, students are expected to:

• Arrive five minutes before the scheduled time.

• Maintain an orderly line in preparation to board the bus promptly, without shoving or pushing.

• Stay out of the roadway.

• Move toward the bus only after it stops and the driver has signaled that it is safe.

On the bus, students are expected to:

• Behave appropriately, just as if they were in a classroom.

• Keep the aisle and emergency door clear of obstructions.

• Keep their arms, feet, and head inside the bus at all times.

• Be seated and make room for others to sit as well. Once ridership has been adjusted at the beginning of the school year, standing is not permitted.

• Discard trash in appropriate containers.

At all times, students may not:

• Use cell phones to take photos or videos on the bus.

• Bring animals, alcohol, drugs, tobacco, weapons, glass containers, or explosives on the bus.

• Use vulgar language or gestures, fight, or engage in sexual harassment or other improper and/or illegal conduct.

• Throw any papers or objects in the bus or out the windows.

• Operate the emergency door without permission.

• Smoke, drink, eat, or play radios without headphones.

• Damage or deface any part of the bus.

Large objects that cannot be held on a student's lap, such as some musical instruments, class projects, etc., should not be transported on the bus. Parents should make other arrangements to transport such items to and from school.

Bus operators and attendants may assign specific seats to students.
