In its transportation program, the District will provide the maximum flexibility and convenience possible within the limits of safety requirements, physical constraints, school hours of operation, availability of equipment, and traffic patterns and restrictions.

Bus schedules will be coordinated in order to pick up and deliver students in a safe and timely manner.

Bus stops will be established in order to be safe and accessible.

Students will be required to board and leave buses only at their assigned bus stops, except in emergencies. Exceptions for reasons of student health and welfare may be granted by the Superintendent/designee upon written recommendation of the Principal. Activities such as music or dance lessons, scout meetings, medical appointments, etc., are not reasons for exceptions.

In order that the transportation system may flow smoothly and efficiently, it is necessary that all route changes be handled through the Transportation Department.

The Transportation Department assumes no responsibility for lost items, but every effort will be made to locate such lost items and return them to their rightful owner. Please put the student’s name on all items transported to help expedite this process.

If, in the judgment of the bus driver, a student is too ill, injured, or displaying disruptive or dangerous behavior which may be unsafe for him/herself or other passengers to ride the bus, the driver may refuse to allow that student to board the bus. If the student is at school, the school will contact the family to make other arrangements for transportation.
