General Transportation Reminders

Eligibility:

Transportation is available for children who live two miles or more from their assigned school. The distance a student lives from their assigned school is measured using the shortest route that may be traveled on publicly maintained roads between the entrance to the campus and the drive way of the student’s legal residence.

Pick Up Time Criteria:

Regular transportation attempts to arrive at every bus stop on time. Due to the variances between individual clocks, students are asked to arrive at the bus stop 5 to 10 minutes prior to the scheduled arrival time. Buses will load students and depart the stop. Regular buses do not wait for late students under most circumstances.

Video Cameras:  For Safety purposes, video/audio equipment may be used to monitor student behavior on buses and common areas on campus.
