Subsection (2) of the Statute also sets forth limitations to the School District’s duty of supervision following notice:

Casual or incidental contact between School District personnel and students on school property shall not result in
a legal duty to supervise outside of the reasonable times set forth in this section...Parents should not rely on
additional supervision. The duty of supervision shall not extend to anyone other than students attending school and
students authorized to participate in school-sponsored activities.

The School Board assumes no responsibility for the student’s safety when the student is not under the control and
direction of the School District under the circumstances described above. This includes when a student is participating in
a non-school sponsored activity or a non-school related event. Parents are responsible for any activities they sponsor for
students or that occur at their home, such as parties.

Parents and students are notified, as allowed by State Board of Education Rule 6A-3.0121, that they have the following
responsibilities in relation to transportation:

1. To ensure the safe travel of their students during the portions of each trip to and from school and home when the
students are not under the custody and control of the school district, including during each trip to and from home
and the assigned bus stop when the school district provides bus transportation.
2. To ensure that students ride only in their assigned school buses and get off only at assigned bus stops, except
when the District has approved alternative buses or arrangements.
3. To ensure students are aware of and follow the District’s adopted Student Code of Conduct while the students
are at school bus stops (School Board P-5.186) and to provide necessary supervision during times when the bus
is not present.
4. To ensure that, when the physical disability of the student renders the student unable to get on and off the bus
without assistance, the parent provides the necessary assistance to help the student get on and off at the bus
stop, as required by District policy or the student’s Individual Educational Plan.
