Transportation - Request a Different Bus Stop
To Request a Different Bus Stop
Students are assigned to the district stop closest to their home. In housing developments the district stops are usually located at corners. In rural areas there must be a minimum of 500 feet between bus stops as stated in Board Policy 8600. On occasion, students will be assigned a common stop when they live too close to each other for the bus to safely make more than one stop. You may, however, request a change of bus stop for your child by submitting your request in writing to the District Transportation Office.
Temporary Bus Stop Change Request
If students walk to a friend’s house, or want to ride another bus, they must obtain a pass from the office after the following requirements have been met:
- TWO NOTES MUST BE OBTAINED - a letter from the parents of both students who are walking home or riding the bus together.
- Notes must be presented for administrative approval to the office personnel before school begins. Requests presented at the end of the day will be denied.
- A student who is assigned to ride a school bus, and at dismissal walks from the school premises without permission of an administrator, will be referred to an administrator for disciplinary action.
Stated below is the policy of the Board of Education concerning changing your bus stop:
"A request for a change in bus stop or bus route must be submitted in writing to the district Transportation Office. Each request will be reviewed in accordance with the Board policy governing transportation. Requests for change in bus stop for the opening of the school year will not be considered until after the first three weeks of school have been completed."
