  1. What happens if a student is written-up by the bus driver?
    Administrators at Millbrook High School acknowledge the bus ride as a school related activity.  Therefore they enforce Millbrook High School and Wake County Board policies pertaining to discipline infractions that occur on the bus or at the     bus stop as if the incident occurred on the schools campus.  Additional information on discipline polices can be found in the student handbook.
