TRANSPORTATION

In District -
    
Children within the district are transported between home and school in accordance with the following schedule:

Grades K-2:     More than 1/4 mile
Grades 3-8:      More than 1/2 mile
Grades 9-12:    More than 1 mile

Out of District -
     The district transports pupils to private and parochial schools for a distance not to exceed fifteen (15) miles. If a student lives beyond the 15 mile limit and the district makes a bus run to that particular school, carrying other eligible students, transportation will be provided from a central pickup point. Transportation to and from a central pickup point, however, is the responsibility of the student. Requests for such transportation must be made by letter addressed to the Superintendent of Schools before April 1 preceding the opening of school in September.
     Children riding buses are issued bus passes. Parents are urged to instruct their children in rules of proper behavior. The school district reserves the right to suspend the privilege of bus transportation for students who threaten the safety and well-being of themselves and/or of other children. The transportation department telephone number is: 912-2020.
