Hannibal district using school bus 'coaches'
HANNIBAL, MO. (AP) -- Keeping kids in line is hard enough in the classroom.
On a school bus, it can be an even bigger challenge. One Missouri school district has come up with a solution that is limiting disciplinary problems on the bus.
Since 2003, Hannibal public schools have used two bus "coaches" who ride along, keep kids in line, and try to teach them good behavior.
School district officials cite continuing improvement in bus behavior. The Hannibal Courier-Post reports that last year, 154 students were written up for bad behavior from the start of the school year through Oct. 31. This year, the number was down to 110.
