Policy 5710 – Transportation Program
The Board recognizes and assumes the responsibility for all aspects of the transportation of children where the health and safety of students are involved, in light of its legal obligation to safeguard the welfare of bus-riding children. The purposes of the transportation program are to transport students to and from school, to transport them for extracurricular activities, to transport them on field trips, and to transport those requiring special services.
Scheduling and Routing
Bus routes are authorized by the Board and any requests for a change must be submitted to the Superintendent or designee.
Transportation services will be provided to meet the needs of the students of the District within specified limits and areas established by the Board.
School Bus Schedules
The District may either mail schedules directly to parents, post schedules through the Parent Portal, or request that parents pick up schedules at the school. If the District posts school bus schedules online, access to the schedules will be password protected.
