Paid Transportation
State funding for student transportation is not provided for students living within 1.5 miles of their schools. These students may ride the bus for a fee determined annually by the Board of Education provided that space is available and a route already exists. (No stops will be made less than one-half mile from the school building.)
*Due to the ongoing bus driver shortage, paid ridership continues to be limited and only offered if space is available on an existing bus route. Applications will be accepted after September 5, 2024. Payment will not be accepted until a parent receives notification that their child has been assigned to a bus route. Bus availability will be evaluated after October 1, 2024.
Paid Rider Transportation Fees for 2024-25 are:
- One child - $370
- Two children - $470
- Three or more children - $520
An Application for Paid Transportation (available to submit AFTER Sept 5, 2024) is available for download or at each school. Please submit a separate application for each student for whom you choose paid transportation.

Payments may be made by cash, check, or credit card, or can be paid online through Campus Parent. (If there is no space available, your payment will be refunded.) Unless you are new to the District or are leaving the District, the fee cannot be pro-rated, waived, or refunded. Specific payment instructions are found on the Application for Paid Transportation.
