District staff say buses can legally pick up outside district boundaries; options under review
Summary
Business manager Crystal told the board staff confirmed that district buses may pick up students outside district boundaries (not limited to charter status) and that the district is exploring options to support families while noting it cannot provide door-to-door service.
Crystal told the board she learned that buses can, under some circumstances, pick up students outside district boundaries even when not chartered, which opens new options for helping families who live beyond the district. "We obviously can't do house to house," she said, but added staff are exploring routing and eligibility options to better support families who request service.
Board members discussed practical limits — parking, construction and traffic — and the need to avoid unsafe queueing on public roads. Crystal said staff will continue to research the policy and operational implications and report back to the board with feasible options.
