What about bullying on the bus?

The Rochester City School District will not tolerate bullying. New York State has just passed the Dignity for All Students Act which will go into effect July 2012.

The District is currently working on guidelines in accordance with this Act.

If you have concerns about bullying on your child’s bus, please contact the Transportation Department at (585)336-4000 immediately.
