There is no "if." My daughter's school has 850 students and they're responsible for accounting for how every single one of them leaves the building at the end of the day. So trust me when I tell you there's a whole battalion of bus monitors out there making sure every kid on a bus route gets on their assigned bus.
Same thing that happens every day. (S)he gets the students' names as they get on the bus and checks them off on the route list. If any student is unaccounted for, (s)he gets a bus monitor to reconcile the list.
This isn't rocket science, folks.
I think it's more the responsibility of a staff member, rather than a bus driver.

That's your school. Not all schools operate the same; that much is clear from the posts on this thread. We're not discussing your school, but a broader concern about schools nation-wide.
No, I'm not at all. I was speaking hypothetically about the future. After this incident, the principal "could" take this or that action. The preceding sentence, "This situation shouldn't be allowed to continue" indicates a discussion about future solutions follows, not assumptions about the past occurrence. If I'd been making an assumption about the past event, I'd have said "could have" done X, using a past verb tense. You misread the post.
No I didn't. You seem to think that a staff member sees every single thing that happens between one kid and another. Impossible.
Heck, most parents can't control their kids 100% of the time, either.
Any bus driver who leaves without accounting for all the students on his/her route will quickly find out otherwise.
How does a bus driver with a list know which children may have been taken to a dentist or doctor appointment during the day. Bus drivers are not responsible for school attendance. Teachers are, and attendance books are considered a legal record of attendance.
