A group of Poland Schools bus drivers smile together in a posed photo under the bold message "Thank You, Bus Drivers!" with small text "Ohio School Bus Driver Appreciation 2026."
Thank you, Bus Drivers!

The Bulldogs would like to thank our transportation department for their amazing work this year in transporting us to school and many field trips, events, and games/meets. Our team travels over 200,000 miles per year, ensuring our Bulldogs can achieve in and out of the classroom. We love and appreciate their commitment in our mission to educate, empower, and inspire every student at every opportunity, especially when they take that first step onto the bus every morning! A few drivers were on the road during our appreciation breakfast, so they may not be in the photograph! We're sending them love too, a few miles away! 

School Bus Rules and Regulations

The privilege of riding the school bus is earned by exhibiting good behavior while on the bus. School buses are an extension of regular school facilities and students are expected to conduct themselves on the buses as they do when they are in the school building. School bus drivers have the responsibility and authority to enforce these rules and regulations.

State law mandates we enforce these rules and regulations:

  • ALL STUDENTS MUST BE AT A DESIGNATED PLACE OF SAFETY DETERMINED BY THE DRIVER. EXAMPLE : PLACE OF SAFETY IS 10 FEET FROM THE STREET ON YOUR DRIVEWAY.
  • STUDENTS SHOULD BE AT THEIR BUS STOP (5) FIVE MINUTES BEFORE THE BUS ARRIVAL TIME.
  • STUDENTS MUST GO DIRECTLY TO AN AVAILABLE SEAT OR ASSIGNED SEAT AND REMAIN SEATED. KEEP AISLES CLEAR. NO STANDING.
  • NO EATING, DRINKING OR CHEWING GUM, OR USE OF TOBACCO ON THE BUS.
  • STUDENTS MUST NOT PUT ARMS, HEADS OR THROW OBJECTS OUT THE WINDOW.
  • WINDOWS MAY BE OPENED WITH PERMISSION FROM THE BUS DRIVER.
  • STUDENTS MUST LEAVE OR BOARD THE BUS AT THE LOCATION THEY HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED UNLESS THEY HAVE PARENTAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORIZATION TO DO OTHERWISE.
  • MARKING OR POKING HOLES IN SEATS IS NOT PERMITTED.
  • CONTINUED DISORDERLY CONDUCT OR PERSISTENT REFUSAL TO FOLLOW THE RULES PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD WHICH CAN RESULT IN LOSING BUS RIDE PRIVILEGES.
