Policy EEAC
Two or more vehicles should travel in a caravan in sight of each other. That will insure that in case of a breakdown the disabled vehicle will have a means of contacting some assistance. If the breakdown occurs close to home, a spare bus will be called. If the breakdown occurs close to the destination, one bus will proceed, drop off its passengers and return to pick up the passengers of the disabled vehicle. While awaiting assistance, the disabled vehicle should be parked as close to the road shoulder as possible, or in the breakdown lane, with flares set up. Passengers and driver should stay on the bus and maintain orderly conduct until assistance arrives. The only exception to this would be if the driver feels there is a danger by remaining on the bus. Bus drivers are in charge of conduct on the bus during the regular runs. On chaperoned trips, student conduct is the responsibility of the chaperones.
