Mission Statement: 
The Transportation Department’s support role in the school district is to provide safe, comfortable, reliable and timely student transportation to school, home from school, and to extra-curricular events. It is the primary goal of the school bus driver to provide a transportation environment in which students, staff and parents feel secure. For those students who ride the bus, the driver and the bus are the first contact with the school district and can set the tone for the school day. This first contact should be a positive experience for both the student and the driver.

Brunswick School Department Bus Rules: 
Students being transported are under the authority of the school bus driver and the Brunswick School Department. To promote their safety and well being, the following rules are to be followed:

  • Be at their bus stop and be ready for pick-up no sooner than five minutes before the bus is due.

  • All bus stops are designated as non-smoking areas.

  • Stand at a safe distance back from the curb or highway and line up single file, facing the street, when the bus approaches.

  • Wait for the driver to motion you across the street when it is safe to cross, and walk in front of the bus by at least ten feet.

  • Do as the bus driver says and obey the driver’s instructions.

  • Always use steps and handrails, and never crowd or push when getting on or off the bus.

  • Always remain properly seated at all times while the bus is moving.

  • Never stand, except to exit the bus at your bus stop, and remain seated until the bus comes to a complete stop.

  • Never throw anything on the bus or out the bus window, or extend hands, arms, heads or objects through bus windows.

  • Have written permission from parent/guardian turned into the Main Office of your student’s school. The Main Office will receive approval from the Principal and then your student will receive a Blue Temporary Alternative Bus Authorization Pass upon approval. For any change in bus transportation to ride another bus or get off at a stop other than your student’s stop, the student will need to present the completed Blue Bus Pass to the Driver,.

  • Talk in normal tones; screaming and yelling are prohibited.
