The safety of every child and the transportation staff is very important to APISD. Safety protocols will be followed just as they are presented here. With that in mind, students MUST listen to the bus driver and bus monitor. If students do not abide by the protocols or disobey the monitor or the bus driver, they could possibly lose their privilege to ride the bus. The safety of every rider must be considered.
