Board approves transportation provisions for 202626ndash;27 school year, including 2-mile eligibility rule and three-tier bell schedule
Summary
The board approved transportation provisions for 202626ndash;27: public transportation for students living two or more miles from assigned schools (with exceptions for unusually hazardous walking areas), continued use of a three-tier bell schedule and district shuttles, and clarified specialized transport under IEP/504.
The board voted to approve the provisions governing student transportation for the 202626ndash;27 school year following a presentation by the new transportation supervisor, Mrs. Lynch.
Mrs. Lynch summarized key points: the district uses a three-tier bell schedule to maximize fleet usage and address driver shortages; public school transportation eligibility is for students who live two or more miles from their assigned school (exceptions for unusually hazardous walking areas); private-school transportation is provided on the same basis as public-school students; specialized transportation under an IEP or 504 plan is provided when qualified.
"Public school transportation is provided for students living 2 or more miles from their assigned school," Mrs. Lynch said while highlighting the use of Kenosha Area Transit on dedicated student routes and district shuttle options.
Board member Mary moved approval and the motion carried after a brief discussion about exceptions and the role of safety assessments for unusually hazardous areas.
