Read the first 7 Professional Standards & Ethics flashcards as text

  1. A transportation supervisor who suspects a student is being abused or neglected is generally considered what under state law?

    Answer: A mandated reporter who must report to child protective services or law enforcement

    In all states, school employees are mandated reporters and must report suspected abuse promptly to the proper authorities.

  2. A student with an IEP needs a bus aide as a related service. The aide is out sick and no substitute is available. What is the most appropriate ethical action?

    Answer: Tell the parents and administrators right away and arrange an alternative that meets the IEP

    Transportation listed in an IEP is a legal obligation under IDEA, so lapses must be communicated and dealt with quickly.

  3. A driver posts a photo on social media showing students on the bus with a joke about one child's behavior. What is the main professional concern?

    Answer: It violates student privacy and professional conduct standards

    Posting identifiable students and comments about their behavior breaks confidentiality and professional standards no matter the account settings.

  4. Which federal law bans discrimination on the basis of disability in programs that receive federal funds, including school transportation?

    Answer: Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act

    Section 504 bans disability discrimination by recipients of federal funds, which covers district transportation services.

  5. When disciplining employees, which approach best reflects ethical supervision?

    Answer: Applying policies the same way and documenting facts objectively for all staff

    Consistent, documented discipline is fair, defensible, and protects both employees and the organization.

  6. Your spouse owns a tire company that wants to supply your district's buses. What is the best ethical course of action?

    Answer: Disclose the relationship and step away from the purchasing decision

    Disclosing and stepping away is the standard way to handle a personal financial conflict of interest.

  7. A parent asks a driver for the home address of another student so their children can arrange playdates. How should the driver respond?

    Answer: Politely decline and explain that student information is confidential

    Student addresses and personal information must not be shared without proper authorization.
