Can large items be transported to school?

Children are not allowed to bring anything on the bus that they cannot easily hold on their lap. Items not permitted could include: musical instruments other than flutes or clarinets, glass, anything sharp, live pets, hockey sticks, lacrosse sticks, baseball bats, ski equipment, large equipment bags, large art displays, and any other items of similar size and shape. (School Law, 32^nd Edition, Section 30:57)

Large items could easily become airborne and cause danger to your child and other students if the bus was involved in a sudden stop.
