When are transportation services provided?

Determination of whether your child needs transportation to school or to participate in extracurricular activities is made by the IEP team. Transportation is usually needed if the special education placement, services, or activities are not at your child’s school of residence. Transportation may also be needed due to personal factors such as health, social judgment, or lack of ability to communicate affecting the safety of your child. The IEP team also decides what accommodations or modifications are necessary for your child to be transported safely.

Transportation is a service based on an identified need and is not provided for your convenience or that of your child. It is also not provided if you place your child in a school without the approval of the District.

After the IEP team determines that your child needs transportation, you will be notified as to where and when your child will be picked up and dropped off. It may take a few days longer if specialized equipment or arrangements are involved. For further transportation information call your District's Special Education Department.
