Bus Reinbursement
How can you apply for Transportation Reimbursement?
Reimbursement for transportation costs is available for guardians of students who are eligible to
ride the school bus. Students are eligible to ride the school bus if they live more than 1.5 miles

on Friday, September 15, 2023 at 4 p.m. No requests will be accepted after that date/time.
Current bus riders are also eligible to change to parent/guardian transportation status and receive
reimbursement if they choose to remove district transportation to and from school.
● Reimbursement is only available for the custodial parent/guardian listed in Skyward Family
Access
● Reimbursement is only available for students in grades K-12 who are eligible for bus
