PROCEDURES FOR STUDENT TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
(Alternative Pick-Up and Drop-Off Points)
1. Only students assigned to a bus may ride that bus.
2. Students may only be picked up and dropped off at their residence or designated pick-up and drop-off point, except those students who have satisfied the District policy for transportation to a day care provider. Approval for transportation to a day care provider must meet the following criteria:
- All requests must be made by the parent(s)/guardian(s) to the District Contracted Transportation Provider (Bus Contractor). All requests must include the name, address and phone number of the day care provider.
- There shall be no additional cost to the District.
- There shall be no modification or change in any route to accommodate the request.
- A change of bus assignment will be allowed only if seating is available on the bus.
- The request should identify one (1) bus stop. Alternate schedules for alternate days or weeks will be considered provided they follow a routine, are in writing and include contact information for each destination.
- Parent(s)/guardian(s) may request that a student be picked up or dropped off at a location other than the student’s residence or day care provider only in an emergency. Such request must follow this procedure:
- The parent(s)/guardian(s) must make the request by phone or in writing to the building principal. The building principal will contact the Bus Contractor to determine that the request meets the District’s requirements that a seat is available and that the location is on an existing bus route.
- A bus pass signed by the principal giving permission for the change is issued to the student for presentation to the bus driver. The following information must be on the pass:
-
- bus number approved to ride on;
- place to be picked up or dropped off;
- day and date this will take place; and
- principal’s signature
If alternate schedules are problematic for the school or Bus Contractor to administer, alternative schedules may be denied or revoked
