District 23 certifies hazardous school bus routes for state reimbursement
Summary
The board approved the annual certification of hazardous transportation routes under Illinois School Code Section 29-3, listing multiple specific road segments for State Board of Education reimbursement eligibility.
Prospect Heights School District 23 approved an annual certification of hazardous routes under criteria from the Illinois Department of Transportation and Section 29-3 of the Illinois School Code. The Administration, in conjunction with the district's transportation provider First Student, determined that conditions on multiple road segments continue to meet the IDOT 12-point criteria for a serious safety hazard.
The board approved the list as presented; the action allows the district to claim State transportation reimbursement for affected routes. The packet lists specific locations and IDOT reference numbers (for example, Hintz Rd. from Schoenbeck Rd. to Elmhurst Rd., IDOT #23-80-1, and many others) and notes that routing and coding were verified in the VersaTrans system to maximize Transportation Reimbursement.
