How will the parent/guardian know their child is eligible to receive school bus transportation?
Each school receives a Student Transportation Eligibility Report prior to the beginning of each fall school term. The report lists each student registered at the school, their current registered address, the distance from the registered address to the school, transportation eligibility and the bus route information, if the student is eligible for transportation.

What can a parent/guardian do if they believe that the distance from the student’s registered address to the assigned school has been calculated incorrectly and feels that the distance is over two miles or that the walking route to the school is hazardous for the student?
Parents/Guardians may request the walking route be checked for distance by a district transportation staff member using a calibrated distance-measuring device and/or inspected to determine if it meets the criteria for hazardous walking as set forth in F.S.. 1006.23. This service may be requested by contacting the designated transportation liaison at the school the student attends (each school has a school based staff member that serves as the transportation liaison for that school) or by calling the Transportation Services Department at (754) 321-4440.
