Transportation

The District’s transportation policies are aimed at providing a safe, efficient, and economical mode of getting students to and from school. Transportation shall be scheduled in a way that best serves the educational interests of the students while considering the safety of our students. In an effort to be fiscally responsible and to maintain operational feasibility, efficiencies including single designated pick-up/drop-off locations and group bus stops will remain in effect.
Our goal is to make transportation for our students as timely, safe and pleasant as possible!

Transportation FAQs
- I cannot see my child’s bus stop from the house. Are there state laws that set the standards for bus stop locations?
- Are sidewalks required for my child to get to his/her bus stop?
- I transport my child to a nonpublic/community school each day and just learned a program exists for reimbursement. How can I be reimbursed for transporting my child?
- I make my child wait inside of my house until the bus is at the stop. I have heard this is not allowed – is this true?
- My child has an I.E.P. but transportation is not being provided. Why is this?
