Instructions for Subscription Busing and Registration
School Year 2019-2020
Past participation does not guarantee a seat and you must apply for busing each year
All subscription busing requests can be completed by printing the Subscription Busing Application
or picking it up at the Transportation Department or your school office
and submitting it to the Transportation Department. Payment is required
for the full year. No partial payments will be accepted. For complete
information to apply see below "How to Apply for Subscription Busing."
Payment is due within three days of notification. Students will be assigned to existing bus stops and routes based on availability closest to their home. No changes or requests for additional routes or stops will be added.
Registration applications must be received by September 6. Late
applications will be accepted until September 27 on a seat-available
basis. Subscription bus assignments will not be made until all students who qualify for busing have seats. Absolutely no request will be
accepted after October 15.
All families who qualify for Free/Reduced Lunch in 2019-2020 will be eligible for subscription busing at no cost
with proper documentation/verification. Please verify your eligibility
