IMPORTANT NOTICE—BUS
RIDERS
Effective January 5, 2009:
Due to most buses being at or near capacity, parent notes authorizing
students to ride on an unassigned bus can no longer be honored
automatically. Permission to ride a different bus cannot be granted except
in critical circumstances that should be discussed with the student’s
principal in advance. Unexpected riders can result in overcrowded buses or
extra routes. With parent authorization, students have in the past been
allowed to ride home with a friend on the friend’s bus. To keep numbers
within capacity, only students assigned to a bus will be allowed to ride
that bus unless an exception is granted for an unusual situation that can be
accommodated. We appreciate your understanding as we implement this change
with student safety in mind.
