What action should be taken if a student forgets to get off at their stop?

If a student forgets to get off at their stop, notifying the school or parent immediately is the most appropriate action because it ensures the child's safety. This response takes into account that the student may be confused or lost, and reaching out to the school or their parent allows for proper communication and reassurance. It helps to ensure that the student is accounted for and managed safely, rather than leaving them unattended or taking them back to their previous stop without proper precautions.

This approach fosters responsible decision-making and maintains a line of communication with those responsible for the student’s welfare, which is essential in any transportation scenario involving children.
