Are all of Montclair’s school-age children bused to school?

The Montclair school district provides bus service to and from school to children in elementary and middle school who live one mile or further from their school. High school students must live 2.5 miles or further from the high school to be eligible for busing.

We live very close to the cutoff point. Could the district make an exception and let my child ride the bus?

Unfortunately, due to the numbers of children who must take the bus due to the distance between their school and home, the district can’t make exceptions to this rule.
