Parent Paid Transportation Contract
All costs associated with this program will be based on the total number of students riding the buses. The exact cost of the program can only be determined with an accurate number of total bus riders for the current school year. This process is completed at the beginning of each school year. The more students participating in the program, the lower the annual costs are for each family. Based on prior years of ridership, the approximate cost per student for an annual round-trip pass is $2,500. Depending on the total number of students riding this school year, the actual cost may be higher or lower.
Families have the option to pay the full amount at the beginning of the school year, or may choose to pay in installments. Please remember that should the number of participants increase or decrease, the expenses will be adjusted accordingly.
The following Rules of Conduct must be adhered to by each student riding the bus:
