Transportation: Student Behavior
In general, students must behave on a bus as they would in a classroom. Reasonable conversation is permitted; however, noise should be kept to a minimum. A driver may request silence for the entire bus in order to gain control of the students. The following are rules for Mansfield City Schools Transportation. Students transported by other school districts must follow their specific rules or may be denied transportation.**
