Guidelines for routes and services are:

1. Provide efficient and economic service. Bus stops shall be located so as to promote pedestrian and traffic safety, but it is expected that students will walk a reasonable distance to these points to minimize the number of necessary stops. A distance may be considered reasonable if it does not exceed the average that non-transported students must travel to reach school.
2. Provide one-way riding time of less than one hour.
3. Will be established on hard surfaced or well maintained, properly marked, two-lane public through streets or roadways.
4. Not established or changed to accommodate nonresident students.
5. Students may be delivered at school in the morning up to 20 minutes before school starts and will be picked up within 20 minutes after school dismisses.
6. The distance a student resides from the school in their attendance area is calculated by measuring the distance from the property line of the student’s residence to the nearest property line of the school. Measurements are based on actual odometer readings or as determined by the District’s transportation routing software system. Travel distances are based on the most efficient path that can be traveled by a school bus.
