Donovan students to return Jan. 2; district says transportation will be limited to eligible riders
Summary
The district sent a letter to Donovan families confirming that Donovan students will return Jan. 2; transportation will be provided only to students who qualify under district policy, and families were instructed how to check eligibility in the parent portal.
A district administrator told the Freehold Township Board of Education that a letter was sent to parents of Laura Donovan Elementary School students confirming that Donovan will reopen and students will return to the building on Jan. 2.
The district said that while Donovan students have been receiving transportation during the interim, beginning Jan. 2 only students who qualify for transportation under the district’s policy will be assigned bus service. Parents were told to check the parent portal: if the bus-info section on the portal shows a populated route, time and location the family is eligible for transportation; if the portal is blank or lists “no AM route,” the family is not eligible.
The administrator said district transportation staff will review individual addresses on request if a parent believes there is an eligibility error. Donovan staff were scheduled to return Monday to set up classrooms for reopening; the district said staff and families are eager for students to return.
Ending The district directed parents with questions about transportation eligibility to the parent portal and to contact the transportation office for address verification.
