Magnet Transportation

Greenville County Schools provides school bus transportation for students who apply, qualify, and are accepted as magnet students to the magnet academies.  The district has eleven locally purchased buses to provide school bus transportation for magnet students.  Students attend magnet academies from all sections of the district’s boundaries covering 800 square miles.  Depending on the location of the student’s stop and the route of the bus to pick up or drop off all magnet students, the bus ride may be lengthy.  However, the district buses have wifi available for students to use on the way to and from school.

Magnet transportation applies only to students who do not live in J. L. Mann's attendance zone.  In May/June of each year those families will receive a transportation form to complete from Dr. Alsip via email.  The GCS Transportation Department uses those forms to create bus routes for Magnet students.  Once new routes are created in the summer, GCS Transportation will contact magnet families with their bus route information.
