Is my child eligible for transportation?

School bus transportation shall be provided for all handicapped children and for qualified children living in excess of the following walking distances* from their neighborhood schools:

Elementary School – 3/4 mile

Middle School – 1 mile

High School – 1.5 mile

* Walking Distance - the linear measure of a prescribed or authorized pedestrian route between the pupil’s residence and his/her school from a point at the curb or edge of a public road or highway nearest the pupil’s residence to a designated point or points at each school site. “One mile walking distance” means a reasonable measurement of a route to be traversed extending from the point of measurement at least 5,280 feet.

If you have moved to a different school zone and would like your student to remain within the original zone, written permission is required and must be sent to the superintendent, otherwise transportation is not provided.
