INFORMATION ON ALTERNATE BUS STOP REQUESTS

 

PARENTS: PLEASE SUBMIT TO SCHOOL BY MAY 1ST FOR UPCOMING YEAR
Requests submitted after May 1st may not be processed until the 3rd week in September

 

 

Your student may ride only the bus to which he/she has been assigned unless an Alternate Bus Stop Request has been approved.  The Central Bucks Transportation Department will approve requests for *childcare or shared custody situations only as long as the following criteria are met: 

 

·         Requests must be for every morning and/or afternoon for the entire school year (exception: shared custody situations)

·         Stop must be within school attendance area

·         Stop must be on an established bus route (i.e. new stops will not be created)

·         Change cannot result in overcrowding a bus

·         Student must be within a safe walking distance from the established stop

·         Requests for alternate bus stops must be renewed annually

 

*Childcare is not applicable to middle or high school students.  On the secondary level, only shared custody situations will be approved.  

 

 NOTE:  Requests will not be approved for temporary periods. 

 

               Requests will not be approved for student employment, medical appointments,

               religious instructions, scouts or any other activity.

 

              In an emergency, please call the principal. An "Emergency Pass" can be issued for the PM ride home.

Requests are due by May 1st each year for the upcoming school year in order to guarantee a response before the opening of school.  Transportation will process requests submitted after May 1st but, because of routing requirements, requests submitted in the summer may not be processed until the third week of school.
