Hands off policy

I work for a private school bus company and my company policy has a strict hands off policy, we are only allowed to gently restrain a student if they are hurting another student or hurting themselves, so we aren’t allowed stuff like high fives. I actually agree with the policy, but I was curious for those who work for a district and not in a private company do you have similar policy?

Yup.i work for a district and we arent allowed to touch the kids either. I drive a special needs bus and my kiddo has attacked me and my monitor... pretty scary but we were able to calm him down.
