- CJust keep an eye on them in the overhead mirror and tell the principal afterward
Why
If misbehavior has to be dealt with immediately, follow your school's procedures: halt and secure the bus, remove the key, rise from your seat, and firmly but respectfully explain to the student what conduct is expected. You may reseat the student close to you if necessary, but a student must never be made to leave the bus anywhere other than the school or his or her own stop.
