Is the District providing Regular Home to School Transportation for the new school year?

On February 2nd 2012, The ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ Board of Education took action to eliminate All Regular Education Home to School transportation in grades PK-6 for the 12/13 school year in order to balance a nearly 28 million dollar deficit. ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ continued to transport all mandated transportation such as Busing for Special Education students. Special Education transportation was not affected by this action. Transportation services will service five schools affected by the 13/14 school closures. Fruitridge, Maple, Bonnheim, Washington, and CP Huntington. Details on transportation service can be found on the district web site or by contacting your assigned school. Severe Safety routes will continue to be serviced. These routes will be for students that need to cross Railroad tracks in certain attendance areas in order to access their resident school. Flexibility of the budget will also allow the district to provide some limited service for routes that have other safety concerns. Severe Safety and Safety Bus Stops and times will be available at the school sites approximately 1 week before school starts. CA ED Code 39800: (a) the governing board of any school district may provide for transportation of pupils to and from school whenever in the judgment of the board the transportation is advisable and good reason exist therefor. Students being transported on one of these routes will need to complete the Transportation Ridership application which will be available on the web site under Transportation Safety Plan or from your driver. This will need to be returned to ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ Transportation Department within 5 days after starting services.

What happens if I’m not home to receive my special needs child after school?

If no one is home to receive your child when the driver arrives, (providing the driver remains in the general area) the driver will continue with the route, keeping your child on the bus until the other children have been transported. Then the driver will make an attempt to leave your child at your home one more time. If no one is home after the second attempt, the driver will return the child to his/her school of attendance. In the event there is no one at the school to receive your student, a call is made to the Sacramento Police Department who will take the child into their custody and will work with Child Protective Services.
