Bus drivers are tasked with ensuring students get to
and from school safely, in addition to making sure students behave during the trip.
To help students better understand what is appropriate bus etiquette, Abbey
Ardiana, a student at Montana’s Sentinel High School, decided to create a bus
safety instructional video and included in the cast, a bus-full of Franklin
Elementary students. The film is one of
six that Ardiana is creating for the Montana Behavioral Initiative (MBI), a
statewide effort to teach students clear expectations of positive behavior. To

When bus drivers in the Galion City School District in
Galion, OH experienced student behavior issues, they had to write a behavior report
and hand-deliver it to the appropriate administrator. The process of filing and
investigating the report could take up to three days, meanwhile bus drivers did
not know what discipline, if any, the student received.
Once the district started using PublicSchoolWORKS’ Student
Behavior Management System, administration knew it would be beneficial to train
the bus drivers on how to fill out the online student behavior reports. After
the initial training, filling out the form was intuitive. Now when an incident
occurs, bus drivers go back to the garage and submit an online behavior report.
The system auto-emails administrators to ensure the investigation and
resolution start immediately. Bus drivers can now rest easy knowing that
administration is addressing student discipline issues in a timely manner. To
