Code No. 711.6
Non-Instructional Operations and Business Services
Discretionary Stops
The school district is required to provide a certain level of transportation service to its resident students. The board has complete discretion to provide additional transportation service to its resident and other students. This school district transportation service may, at the discretion of the board, make special stops on its bus routes as a courtesy to the passengers. Changes in the bus route for discretionary stops must be reviewed by the board.
It shall be the responsibility of the superintendent, with a recommendation from the director of transportation, to make a recommendation as to whether a school vehicle will make a discretionary stop. In making this recommendation, the superintendent shall consider the safety of the students, the size of the school buses, the length of the route, the cost to the school district, and other factors as deemed relevant by the board, the superintendent, or the transportation director.
