EDD: SCHOOL BUS SCHEDULING AND ROUTING
The St. John the Baptist Parish School Board shall provide school bus transportation for all students living more than one mile from the school that they are assigned to attend. Students living within one mile of the school may be allowed to ride a school bus when the School Board determines that conditions exist to warrant such transportation. Other students may be provided with school bus transportation in accordance with regulations of the Louisiana Department of Education.
A reasonable time shall be established for each route and the bus driver shall be expected to adhere to this schedule. By the same token, students shall be expected to be at their respective bus stop when the bus arrives. Once a bus route has been established, the bus driver shall not alter or change assigned routes without order of the Superintendent or his/her designee. Any bus driver who feels a road is unsafe or dangerous shall report such dangerous condition to the Superintendent or his/her designee, and the bus driver may be allowed not to travel the road with the prior approval of the Supervisor of Transportation, until the Superintendent or his/her designee determines said road is safe or improved, or the situation has been rectified.
Buses must be routed so that no more than one bus will travel the same route, except in cases of definite apparent necessity. Each scheduled route will be planned in full consideration of the established limits for individual schools.
During inclement weather, bus drivers may be directed to make more frequent stops. In discharging pupils who must cross the highway, the responsibility of safe crossing rests with the driver.
Bus drivers for the St. John the Baptist Parish School Board shall follow all federal laws, Louisiana state laws, and local procedures for the loading and unloading of students.

JBH: ATTENDANCE REPORTS FOR STUDENT DRIVERS
In accordance with state law, students are obligated to attend school regularly, and be in attendance a minimum number of days during the school year. In order for a minor to obtain or renew a driver’s license or learner’s permit for the operation of a motor vehicle, the minor shall present evidence to the Office of Motor Vehicles that the minor is enrolled and is attending school or a recognized program or has completed the required minimum units of credit for graduation. Such documentation shall be verified by the principal on forms provided by the Louisiana Department of Education, and said documentation shall be valid for ninety (90) days from the date of issuance.
A student who does not meet the required minimum school attendance provisions may be subject to denial or suspension of his/her driver’s license or learner’s permit. It is the policy of the St. John the Baptist Parish School Board to provide written notification of a minor student who has been determined by the principal to be a dropout or habitually absent or tardy to the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles for denial or suspension of driving privileges.
In addition, a minor student’s driver’s license or permit may also be suspended when written notification is received by the Office of Motor Vehicles from the principal that the minor student has been expelled or suspended from school or assigned to an alternative educational setting for ten (10) or more consecutive school days. Such disciplinary action shall be limited to expulsions, suspensions, or alternative educational assignments for infractions involving the sale or possession of drugs, alcohol, or any other illegal substance, the possession of a firearm, or an infraction involving assault or battery of a member of the school faculty or staff.
The School Board, through the principal, shall provide written notification to any minor whom the principal has determined to be a dropout or habitually absent or tardy and his/her parent or guardian that the principal intends to subject the minor to driver’s license denial or suspension. The written notification shall advise the minor of his/her right to seek a hearing of the School Board of such determination or to make a request of the School Board to obtain a hardship waiver within fifteen (15) days of the mailing of the notification. The principal shall send a copy of the notification to the School Board.
If the School Board is notified of a request for a hearing or a request for a hardship license within fifteen (15) days after the date of mailing the written notification, the School Board shall hold a hearing to make a determination upon such request. If no such request is received by the School Board, or if the School Board determines after a hearing that such student is a dropout or is habitually absent or tardy and is not entitled to a hardship waiver, then the School Board shall provide written notification to the Office of Motor Vehicles that the minor’s license should be suspended or denied.
HARDSHIP WAIVER
The School Board may waive the attendance requirements for any minor for whom a personal, family, or economic hardship requires the minor to have a driver’s license for his/her own, or his/her family’s employment or medical care as provided in La. Rev. Stat. Ann. §17:226. The minor or his/her parent or legal guardian may present other evidence that indicates compliance with attendance requirements outlined in state law at the waiver hearing.
The School Board shall notify the Office of Motor Vehicles of the outcome of the minor’s hardship waiver hearing within twenty-four (24) hours after conducting the hearing.
DEFINITIONS
Dropout, for purposes of this policy,means a person fifteen (15) years of age or older but less than eighteen (18) years old, who was enrolled in a school and withdrew or who was enrolled at the end of the previous school year and is not enrolled on October first of the following school year or who has more than ten (10) consecutive days of unexcused absences from school or fifteen (15) days total unexcused absences during a single semester.

Rev. Stat. Ann. §17:233.

GBRIBB: MEDICAL LEAVE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
(SICK LEAVE BANK)
The St. John the Baptist Parish School Board recognizes that major illnesses and catastrophic injuries may warrant the need for additional sick leave by an employee. The Board shall create and maintain a Sick Leave Bank which provides an opportunity for employees to donate sick leave days, which in turn may be used by employees in emergency situations when their own sick leave days have been exhausted.
Receipt of sick leave days from the Sick Leave Bank shall be based on a written application submitted by an employee to the Superintendent and/or his/her designee. Assessment and any decisions regarding the granting of days from the Sick Leave Bank shall be the responsibility of the Superintendent. His/her decisions shall be final, and such decisions shall not be subject to review by the School Board or subject to the Board's grievance procedures.
The St. John the Baptist Parish School Board recognizes that major illnesses and catastrophic injuries may warrant the need for additional sick leave days. The sick leave donation option provides a means for School Board employees to donate additional sick leave for use by an eligible recipient as a result of a medical necessity of the employee or employee’s immediate family. Immediate family member shall mean a spouse, parent, or child of the employee.
Donations of sick leave days shall be made to the Sick Leave Bank Medical Leave Assistance Program, and not directly to individual employees, shall be made by notarized Acts of Donation, and shall be made in accordance with other provisions of this policy.

Three (3) separate accounts shall be established within the Sick Leave Bank: one for teachers, one for bus operators, and one for school employees.

Applications for receipt of donated sick leave days from the Sick Leave Bank shall be in writing and include a statement from a licensed physician certifying a medical necessity for the employee to be absent from work. The application shall be submitted at least twenty (20) work days prior to the anticipated beginning date of leave. In cases of extenuating circumstances, the Superintendent may waive or alter the application deadline. Upon review of the applications, if questions about the validity or accuracy of the certification arise, the Superintendent may require additional medical certification as outlined under Extended Sick Leave in policy GBRIB, Sick Leave.
Medical necessity shall be the result of a catastrophic illness or injury, which means a life-threatening, chronic, or incapacitating condition of the employee or a member of his/her immediate family. Immediate family member shall mean a spouse, parent, or child of the employee.

4. The maximum number of sick leave days that may be granted to a recipient at one time shall be twenty (20) work days.
5. Of those days granted, any remaining unused at the end of the fiscal year shall be returned to the Sick Leave Bank.
6. A separate application shall be submitted for each occasion that an employee may request receipt of sick leave days from the Sick Leave Bank. Each application shall include necessary documentation attesting to medical necessity. The physician’s certification must address circumstances relative to each separate request. The separate application requirement may be waived by the Superintendent as circumstances may warrant.
7. Donated sick leave shall not be used on an intermittent daily basis.
RECIPIENT ELIGIBLITIY OF SICK/EMERGENCY LEAVE DAYS
1. Employees may only use donated sick leave for a medical necessity. Medical necessity shall be the result of a catastrophic illness or injury, a life-threatening, chronic, or incapacitating condition, as certified by a physician, of the employee or a member of his/her immediate family.

5. Those employees who receive annual leave shall also be required to exhaust all annual leave before becoming eligible for donated leave.
6. Individuals shall not be eligible for the Medical Leave Assistance program once they qualify for Worker’s Compensation and/or disability retirement.
7. The maximum number of sick leave days that can be granted in any one fiscal year shall be the remaining number of workdays an employee is scheduled to work. If more days are donated than are approved on the request form, the personnel supervisor shall hold the donation until it becomes known that the employee does not need more days to cover this illness/injury.
Recipients shall be required to complete and submit the appropriate forms to the Supervisor of Personnel (or designee). The Personnel Office shall process all requests with the attached documentation:
1. The St. John the Baptist Parish School Board Physician’s Certification Form completed and signed by the employee, administrator, and physician

The Director of Human Resources (or his/her designee) shall review the recipient’s application and verify that the recipient has used all sick leave, accrued sick leave, extended sick leave and/or annual leave. The recipient’s request for participation in the Medical Leave Assistance program would then be posted by the personnel office.
A donating employee at a higher or equal pay grade than the employee receiving the donated days (donee), may donate days at a one day donated/one day received rate.
In the event the donor’s rate of pay is less than the donee’s rate of pay, then the donee shall receive the fractional value of each day donated by comparing the salaries.
Once a donor submits the St. John the Baptist Parish School Board Medical Leave Assistance Program Donor Form, the personnel office shall verify the donor’s availability of volunteered sick leave days. Donation to recipient’s account shall be made on the basis of date of donor form received.
Miscellaneous Provisions
1. The Superintendent shall be authorized to make determinations and clarifications of these provisions. All determinations and clarifications made by the Superintendent shall be final.
