Bus Stop Change Request Form
Please review the Bus Stop and Routing Criteria below before completing this form:
Bus stops are established to transport as many students as possible to allow for shorter route times to allow for the timely transport of students to and from school.
Buses will not travel into cul-de-sacs, private roads (i.e. apartment complexes and home associations), dead-end streets or other areas where they cannot safely maneuver. All students who reside in these areas need to walk to the assigned bus stop regardless of distance, age or grade. An exception to this may be a bus that is transporting students with disabilities.
Home-to-Stop distance can be up to .25 mile walk-distance, or up to .5 mile if you reside within a cul-de-sac or dead end street (Grades K-12).
Availability of sidewalks is not part of the criteria used in establishing bus stops.
Bus stops are collection points in neighborhoods. Visibility from the home to the bus stop is not part of the criteria for establishing bus stops. Parents/guardians are encouraged to arrange for an adult to be at the bus stop whenever students are present.
In order to be consistent and fair in placement of bus stops, we cannot establish stops based on personal circumstances such as employment, day care or siblings.
Bus drivers do not have the legal authority to make bus stop changes. An exception may be made by the driver in the case of inclement weather or other unique circumstances. In each case, the driver must notify the transportation department in advance.
These Bus Stop & Routing Criteria apply to all riders.
