  • Transportation Services will be provided for students to and from their school of attendance, consistent with Oregon Revised Statute 327.043.

    Transportation Eligibility is based on the distance from a student's home to their school.

    • Elementary Students who live more than one mile from their school are eligible for transportation services.
    • Secondary Students who live more than one and one-half miles from their school are eligible for transportation services.
    • Students requiring specialized transportation as determined by their Individualized Education Program or under the McKinney-Vento Assistance Act are eligible for transportation services.
    • Transportation services are NOT provided to students who are attending outside of their local school district such as courtesy enrollments or transfers from other school districts.

    Distance will be determined by District Transportation practice, in accordance with Oregon Administrative Ruling 581-023-0040 (1)(e).  "Mile(s) from School" means the distance a student lives from school, measured from the closest, reasonable, and prudent point between the school property identified by the local board for that pupil's attendance and the property where the pupil lives.  The distance will be measured over the shortest practical route on maintained public roadways or over existing pedestrian facilities capable of meeting the requirements listed in ORS 332.405  (4). Online mapping services such as Google Maps do not measure the distance to the nearest accessible point of school property and will provide measurements that are significantly different than the measurements used by the School District.

  • All students eligible for transportation service will be assigned to specific bus stops for morning pickup and afternoon drop off.

    For safety reasons:

    • Students will have only one morning pick up and one afternoon drop off location, these can be different for morning and afternoon. (Split family households are the exception, please contact the school)
    • Students will only be picked up and dropped off at their designated stops.
    • Students cannot change bus stop locations from day to day. Any change must be made through the school front office and be a permanent change (more than 30 days)
    • An adult must be present at the bus stop for kindergarten students. If an adult is not present for drop off, the bus will return at the end of the route. If an adult is unavailable, the bus will return the student to the school.
    • Bus drivers are prohibited from adding unscheduled stops to bus routes. Please do not ask them to make stops not on their route.

    Guidelines for walking distances to bus stops are:

    • 3 blocks for elementary students.
    • 4 blocks for middle school students.
    • 5 blocks for high school students.

    A block is 1/10th of a mile, or 528 feet.

    Some students may be assigned to stops that exceed these distances if local street infrastructure does not support school bus travel.  Bus stops will generally not be placed in cul-de-sacs, dead-end streets, or on private roads.

  • Bus schedule changes must be made through your student’s school.

    Any change must be made through the school front office and be a permanent change (more than 30 days)

    For student safety:

    • Students will have only one morning pick up and one afternoon drop off location, these can be different for morning and afternoon. (Split family households are the exception, please contact the school)
    • Students will only be picked up and dropped off at their designated stops.
    • Students cannot change bus stop locations from day to day. Any change must be made through the school front office and be a permanent change (more than 30 days)
