Abstract	A practicum was designed to reduce disruptive behavior of students riding school buses in a small multicultural community. It was determined that many students were disruptive when riding the school buses, making it difficult for the bus drivers to ensure riders' safety. The practicum implemented a school bus safety education and public awareness program involving students, parents, teachers, drivers and administrators. As part of the program: (1) bus drivers were given inservice training for effective discipline and reviewed safety procedures; (2) teachers and administrators were encouraged to promote better discipline aboard the school buses; (3) students were brought into the process from the beginning; and (4) the school bus discipline code was revised and accepted by all parents and students. Evaluation results showed that the goal of the program was met with achievement of a 66% decrease in disruptive behavior. (Six appendices include the survey and responses on school bus discipline and safety, a statistical breakdown of disruptive incidents during 1993-1994, and the original and revised school bus discipline codes. Contains 34 references. (AP)
