Under most conditions, special education students are transported from their door to school and back. All transportation services are during the student's school day. Services have been expanded to allow for pick ups and drop offs at day care providers. With the exception of therapy, all alternate addresses must be within a ten (10) mile radius of the student's pick up address and each student will be limited to two (2) addresses.

Unless physically impossible for the bus, the stop will be in front of and on the same side of the street as the student's address. Pick up or release of a rider will not be made in any area determined to be unsafe. Safety always takes precedence over other criteria.

Each child is assigned to a definite bus route and may be assigned to a particular seat. State law requires that no child be permitted to leave the bus at a point other than his/her assigned stop. Parents or guardians must not make private arrangements with the bus driver. All changes must be cleared through the student's principal as well as this agency.

Drivers must follow established routes. They may not make changes in these routes unless authorized by the transportation office or their dispatch office.

Bus Schedules

Prior to the beginning of each school year, parents/guardians will be notified of their child's pick up and drop off schedules. Buses, routes and times may need to be changed throughout the school year to accommodate new students. Parents/guardians will be notified of time changes of more than ten (10) minutes. Buses may run late during days of unfavorable weather conditions such as rain or fog.
