 Fee-Based Busing

 Did you know that you can pay for busing if you live in an area that is not bused.  There are obviously some restrictions.  One of which is that you have to transport your child to and from  an existing bus stop.  The other is that once the upper limit of seating is reached, no more students will be added to a given bus route.  Below is the Board policy on fee-based busing and the request form.
