Protocols for Transportation Cleaning, Disinfecting and Safety

   students to school to reduce the possible virus exposure at bus stops or on the bus.
-  Riding the bus is a privilege. Therefore, all students must follow the daily transportation
   protocols to maintain the privilege of riding the bus.

   the inability to social distance on buses.

   circulate on the bus.

   surfaces such as bus seats, steering wheels, knobs, and door handles. During cleaning, bus
   windows will be opened to allow additional air flow.
-  Bus drivers will wear masks and gloves during work hours.
-  Students will be reminded daily by bus drivers to social distance when loading and unloading the
   bus.
