Bus routes

Sorry route information is no longer available on the Web, per Federal Government request since 9-11

Routes will be continuously evaluated during the school year to ensure maximum rider ship and efficiency while supporting school department bussing policy. As such, some routes may be redesigned or combined during the school year. When this occurs, the school, parents and students will be notified prior to implementation.

Bus stops are designed to comply with state guidelines regarding students; embarking and disembarking on major thoroughfares. Bus stops will be planned if possible so that a student does not have to cross a major thoroughfare immediately after getting off the bus. A "major thoroughfare," is defined as a freeway, an interstate highway, a highway with four or more lanes, or a road with a median separating multiple lanes of traffic. A two-lane road that is considered a high traffic road is also considered a “major thoroughfare”

Drivers will not make any changes whatsoever in established routes or receiving and discharging points except in cases where road condition require an immediate decision and such changes are absolutely required. When such conditions prevail, safety of the students is to be the governing factor. Drivers report such conditions to the Transportation Director as soon as possible.

Establishing/Changing Routes and Bus Stops

School administrators can request the establishment of/or changes to bus routes and bus stops. Requests for the start of the new school year should be submitted in writing to the Transportation Director no later than May 1 st each year. Requested changes to existing routes/bus stops can be submitted anytime during the school year. Student and/or parents can also request changes. These will be submitted to the Transportation Department via the school principal, who will forward the request making the appropriate recommendation. Requests for changes can be submitted on a form provided in the “Download” link of the web page.

The Director of Transportation will be the approving authority for establishing and changing routes and bus stops. Appeals to the Director's decision can be forwarded to the Business Manager of the school department.
