Some Middle & High School Bus Stop Locations May Change This Fall
In order to help improve efficiencies, some middle and high school bus stop locations may increase from a maximum distance of 2/10 of a mile from a student's home to 5/10 mile from their home. Please keep an eye out for information about where your secondary-age child's bus stop is located at the start of the 2023-24 school year to ensure they wait at the correct location. This change allows buses to make fewer stops across the District and will help with timely arrivals.
Elementary stops will continue to have the same 2/10 mile maximum distance from a student's home. This change will not impact students with specialized transportation accommodations.
