The district’s transportation structure will not be able to accommodate 6 ft. social distancing.
The district will ask parents if they want to waive transportation for the 20-21 school year.
This will assist the district in planning bus routes and possible adjustments in student arrival/pickup procedures.
All students are required to wear face coverings while on the bus. This includes while boarding and disembarking the bus.
Requests for exemptions for medical reasons will require appropriate medical documentation and review by district administration and the district school physician.
Students who do not comply with the face covering requirements will be subject to progressive disciplinary action, which may include up to suspension of bus transportation privileges.
Bus drivers must wear face coverings while students are boarding and disembarking the bus and when 6 ft. social distancing can not be maintained unless doing so would inhibit the individual’s health.
Bus aides will be required to wear face masks while on the bus, unless doing so would inhibit the individual’s health. This includes while students are boarding and disembarking the bus.
Bus Stops
Students are strongly encouraged to maintain a 6 ft. social distance when possible at bus stops. If maintaining a 6 ft. social distance is not possible, face coverings must be worn at bus stops in accordance with Governor Murphy’s Executive Order No. 163.
The district’s transportation contractors will perform complete cleaning and disinfection procedures on each bus every day.
Bus drivers will clean common touch points, such as handrails, seat tops, etc. between each bus route.
Busses will be loaded from back to front as they complete their routes to school in the morning, and unload front to back.
If a bus driver observes a student with symptoms of potential illness (coughing, runny nose, lethargic), the driver will contact the transportation contractor, who will in turn notify the school.
School staff will assess the student upon arrival to school.
Drivers will not be responsible for screening students for signs of illness.
The district’s transportation contractors are required to provide their employee monitoring procedures to the district before the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year.
Transportation contractors are required to report any possible exposures or confirmed COVID-19 cases to the district immediately so that the district can initiate any necessary contact tracing procedures. Notification will be made to the district’s Business Administrator.
Signage will be posted inside busses to remind students of the face covering requirement and to maintain distance when possible.
Students are strongly encouraged to maintain a 6 ft. social distance when possible at bus stops. If maintaining a 6 ft. social distance is not possible, face coverings must be worn at bus stops in accordance with Governor Murphy’s Executive Order No. 163.
