POMEROY — Changes in the time structures as to when classes begin in all three buildings of the Meigs Local School District means that all of the bus schedules have to be changed to get the students to their respective schools on time.

This year the Elementary and Middle Schools will start classes at 7:55 a.m. High School classes will begin at 7:45 a.m. All schools will release students at 2:30 p.m.

As for the bus schedules for this school year which begins on Aug. 22, the district will return to single routing which means that no buses will be traveling the same routes twice as some have done in previous years. This presumably will cut down on costs since mileage will be reduced by single routing and time spent in picking up students in the morning and returning them home in the afternoon will be less.

As for the afternoon routes when students are picked up at the schools, the route taken in the morning will be reversed. This will mean that students picked up the earliest in the morning, will be returned to their homes the earliest after school is dismissed.

According to a schedule released by the Meigs Local School District’s transportation office, the pickup of students will begin as early as 6 a.m. in some areas.

Pupil transportation management policies are as follows:

Pupils shall arrive at the bus stop before the bus is scheduled to arrive.

Pupils must wait in a location clear of traffic and away from the bus stop.

Behavior at the school bus stop must not threaten life; limb or property of any individual.

Pupils must go directly to an available or assigned seat so the bus may safely resume motion.

Pupils must remain seated keeping aisles and exits clear.

Pupils must observe classroom conduct and obey the driver promptly and respectfully.

Pupils must not use profane language.

Pupils must refrain from eating and drinking on the bus except as required for medical reasons.

Pupils must not use tobacco on the bus.

Pupils must not have alcohol or drugs in their possession on the bus except for prescription

medication required for a student.

Pupils must not throw or pass objects on; from or into the bus.

Pupils may carry on the bus only objects that can be held on the laps.

Pupils must leave or board the bus at locations to which they have been assigned unless they have

parental and administrative authorization to do otherwise.

Pupils must not put head or arms out of the bus windows.
