The School Board provides for the transportation of students as required by state and federal laws and regulations.
The Superintendent collaborates with the local social services agency to develop and implement clear written procedures governing how transportation to maintain children in foster care in their school of origin when in their best interest will be provided, arranged and funded for the duration of time in foster care.
These procedures ensure that children in foster care needing transportation to the school of origin will promptly receive transportation in a cost-effective manner and in accordance with 42 U.S. C. § 675(4)(A).
These procedures also ensure that, if there are additional costs incurred in providing transportation to maintain children in foster care in their school of origin, the school division will provide transportation to the school of origin if
the local social services agency agrees to reimburse the local school division for the cost of such transportation,
the school division agrees to pay for the cost of such transportation, or
the school division and the local social services agency agree to share the cost of such transportation.
Students may be suspended from using school transportation services for violations of Policy JFC Student Conduct, Policy JFC-R Standards of Student Conduct, or when the student endangers the health, safety or welfare of other riders. In such cases the parent or guardian is responsible for transporting the student to school.
