Ensuring safety
Ensuring students
arrive to school safely is a big job, and it's one the district takes very seriously. The district strives to provide
its students with safe, reliable and efficient transportation. The
district contacts with Durham School Services to provide busing
transportation to Albany's elementary school children.
Each school
day, the district oversees the transportation of nearly 5,000 children
on both Durham yellow buses and CDTA vehicles. These buses travel to 78
schools -- 24 public and charter schools in Albany, as well as 56 BOCES
and private schools throughout the Capital Region. To find out more
about transportation for students attending non-public schools in
Albany, visit our Busing Eligibility
