Question: Can a student be suspended from school and bus privileges for accidentally lighting a match on the bus? What if the student puts the match out and admits doing it?

Answer: The questions that you asked are covered by your school district policy. Each school district in the state has policies that explain appropriate conduct for students on busses and on school grounds. The policies also outline the consequences for breaking the rules. If you want to learn more about your school or school district policies, you can contact your school principal.

I agree it should be illegal because you are endangering the people around you and its not fun to have some near lighhting matches, at least I would feel uncomforable.

I believe that someone should be punished even if they put the match out right away and admit to doing it because what were they doing with a match on the bus in the first place?
