School Bus Service
Changing student demographics requires the Transportation Department conduct a review of the bus routes each year, and make adjustments where required. School bus routes are designed to service eligible students who have registered for the school bus so parents are reminded that they must register their children for the school bus EACH YEAR.
School bus transportation service may be available for ineligible students or those students who attend a school of choice however, some conditions apply.
