A bus pass will be issued to each student eligible to ride the bus. A pass will be required to ride the bus.

The driver will have a passenger list showing the names of each student eligible to ride the bus, both those that have paid a fee, and those riding who reside beyond two miles.

All students, including special education students, riding a full size bus and residing within two miles of the resident school will be required to pay a fee for bus service. However, state law stipulates that free bus service must be provided for special education students who require transportation as part of their individual education plan, regardless of where they live. As a result, special education students riding a special education bus will ride at no charge and will not be required to carry a bus pass.

The POP student may be provided transportation if the student meets the bus from the nearest regular bus stop available, based on bus capacity. The district will not alter bus routes or travel into another attendance area to pick up students.

Open enrolled students may be provided transportation, from the nearest bus stop available, based on bus capacity. The district will not alter bus routes or travel into another attendance area to pick up students.

The student must bring a parent permission slip to the school office authorizing the student to ride home on the same bus with your child. The school office is responsible for issuing the bus pass. The ride is only available if there is room on the bus.

The distance will be measured using our bus routing program. The computer program, VersaTrans, uses the Hennepin County GIS map of the entire district. It is the most accurate and fair measurement of the distance between two points. The measurement is taken from the street center-line of the lot of the student’s primary residence to the center-driveway of the school.

The distance will be measured based on the walking distance from the child’s home to the school of attendance. If the mileage exceeds two miles, transportation will be provided without charge. The parents will be required to pay a fee to ride the bus if their residence is within two miles of school.
