STUDENT PICK-UP AND DISCHARGE AT POINTS OTHER THAN THEIR RESIDENCE

A parent/guardian may request to have a pupil’s bus pick-up or delivery location changed provided that the following criteria are met:
 
One pick-up and delivery location will be assigned to the student unless the student has more than one legal residence.
 
If the proposed change involves a bus route other than the student’s assigned route, permission may be granted providing there is seating space available.
 
A student who is a regular bus rider may be dropped off at a friend’s (one who rides the same bus) home, if a note signed by the parent/guardian is presented to the bus driver stating the student’s name and the name of the student and family being visited.  Parents will assume the responsibility for the child when such a request is made.
 
Students who are not regular bus riders will not be allowed to ride the bus.  This includes riding home with bus riders to visit or spend the weekend.
