Our Commitment to School Bus Safety
The Clatskanie School District Transportation Department is committed to maintaining the highest standards of safety for all students riding our school buses. Passenger safety is our top priority, and we take this responsibility very seriously.
To ensure that school buses remain a safe environment for everyone, we have established a set of rules that all students are expected to follow. These rules are designed to promote safe and respectful behavior while riding the school bus.
Please note: Students who fail to follow these rules or who disrupt the safe operation of the school bus may lose their privilege to ride the school bus.
Student Conduct on School Buses
