- BPark safely, secure the bus, and order the students off the bus
- CKeep an eye on them in the overhead mirror and tell the school about it later
Why
Follow your school's procedures, but in general bring the bus to a safe stop, secure it, and take the key, then stand and talk with the students in a firm, respectful way, reminding them of the rules. Never put a student off except at school or the student's stop; if removal elsewhere is necessary, call the police or a school administrator.
