What is the school bus driver's responsibility regarding bullying or harassment among students on the bus?

The driver is frequently the only adult on the bus and so plays a key role in preventing and responding to bullying and harassment. This means being alert to signs of bullying, intervening to stop it in a calm and appropriate way, supporting the targeted student, and reporting incidents through the school's established procedures so they can be addressed. Drivers are often trained to recognize bullying behavior and to create an environment where students feel safe. Treating bullying as a real safety and well-being concern — not something to ignore — is part of the modern school bus endorsement material.
