with local law enforcement agencies shall develop,  with  the

maintain a reciprocal reporting  system  between  the  school
district   and   local  law  enforcement  agencies  regarding
criminal offenses committed by students.
    (c)  The   parent-teacher    advisory    committee,    in
cooperation  with  school  bus personnel, shall develop, with
the school board, policy guideline  procedures  to  establish
and  maintain school bus safety procedures.  These procedures
shall be incorporated into the  district's  pupil  discipline
policy.
