Student Transportation
Eligibility
Students in Grades K-5 must reside a mile or more from the school within their home attendance area and students in Grade 6-12 must reside 1.5 miles or more from their school within their home attendance area to qualify for regular school bus service. Regular school bus service is limited to transportation from the home to school and back home again.
Students who do not attend the school within their home school attendance area; reside within the minimum qualifying distances as listed above; or desire other than home-school-home transportation may receive “space available” bus service provided that there are unused seats on the bus and that accommodation will not result in additional cost to the State.
Parents who desire space available bus service must submit a Request for Student to Ride School Bus on a Space Available Basis (Form CS-101, available at the school office) along with their completed bus pass application form (Form ST-70, available at the school office). Please submit both forms to the school office. CAUTION: Approval/disapproval may take up to four weeks. Your child will NOT be permitted to ride the bus until your application is approved. Parents must make contingency plans during the interim.
