What must be done when discharging a disorderly student from the bus?

When discharging a disorderly student from the bus, it is essential to release the student into the custody of a parent or school official. This responsibility ensures that the child is safely handed over to someone who is authorized to manage the situation. Doing so helps maintain the safety and well-being of both the student and others on the bus.

Discharging a student into someone's care not only addresses the immediate issue of disorderly behavior but also ensures that proper parental or school oversight is in place to handle the child's behavior moving forward. This response is consistent with best practices in handling student safety and discipline on school transportation.

In contrast, simply leaving the student at the nearest bus stop would pose significant safety risks, as they could potentially wander off or face dangers without supervision. Issuing a warning may not adequately address the need for a responsible transition of custody, especially if the behavior is severe. Contacting authorities is typically not the first step unless there is an immediate threat or safety concern that requires emergency intervention, making it an inappropriate initial response in this context.
