School bus registration is now open for the 2022-2023 school year. The deadline to complete registration is May 9th, 2022.
ALL students who intend on riding the school bus must register to be assigned a seat on a bus. This includes students that are eligible with no fee required and those that require a fee.
Incoming K-6 students, living two or more miles from their districted schools are eligible to receive no-fee transportation. Incoming K-6 students living less than two miles from their districted schools are eligible for fee-based transportation, based on space availability.
Annual School Bus Fees:
- Individual fee - $420.00
- Family fee (multiple students) - $765.00
- Late registration fee - $75.00
School bus fees were increased for the 2022-2023 school year based on the increases in the new school bus contract. This marks the first increase since 2011 and could not be avoided.
