Parents must request such transportation in writing. Application are available at the school your child attends. Sorry, but requests cannot be taken over the telephone.

Private, Parochial and Charter Schools
Eligible private, parochial and charter school students will be provided transportation in the same manner as public school students only if the private, parochial or charter school they attend is within the district's boundaries.
