Note:  Approved Walk Limit to bus stops for all students transported = max. 750 meters.  Parents/Guardians are responsible to get their child(ren) to the bus stop safely.  School Districts are responsible for their safety once the students board the school bus.

 

Out-of-Boundary or Out-of-District (School of Choice or Program of Choice School)

The Board supports that parents may chose to attend a School of choice, however school bus services may not be guaranteed.  If there is room available on the bus and the student is able to meet the bus on route at a pre-existing stop, transportation may be provided for a fee.

 

Students that have been approved to ride the bus to their school of choice should interpret the service as being valid for a one (1) school year term only, with the expectation that your child(ren) may not be able to obtain the same school bus service the following school year.

 

Students may be required to fill out Form 306A Boundary Exemption Form by your school.
