        • Transportation FAQ
        • Who is authorized to use School bus transportation?

          Posted by:
          • Children who reside one and a half or more miles from their school of assignment.
          • Special Needs Children when required by the IEP as a related service. These children may ride a regular bus or, if required, a bus with an monitor.
          • Children who reside in a hazardous area due to local traffic or street conditions that would put them at risk of injury if they were to walk to school. Examples include four lane streets or major traffic arteries (not residential streets) with no traffic controls or no crossing guards in the case of elementary students, railroad tracks, etc.

        • What happens if my child breaks the bus rules?

          Posted by:
          Consequences for inappropriate behavior on the bus depend upon the infraction. Consequences may range from driver/student conference, change of seating, to removal from the bus. In situations where the infraction is significant, drivers will write disciplinary referrals to the appropriate grade level administrator. Depending upon the circumstances or severity not all violations begin with a warning.
