Eligibility for free transportation shall be based on the income eligibility scales used for the free and reduced-price lunch program. At the beginning of the school year and whenever a new student is enrolled, parents/guardians shall receive information about free transportation eligibility standards, application procedures and appeal procedures.
All applications and records related to eligibility for free transportation shall be confidential and open only for purposes directly connected with the free transportation program.
Students receiving free transportation shall not be identified by the use of special passes, tickets, lines, seats or any other means. They shall in no way be treated differently from other students, nor shall their names be published, posted or announced in any manner or used for any purpose other than the transportation program.
Recipients of Aid for Families with Dependent Children may apply for free transportation by showing their monthly Medi-Cal or other subsidized insurance card rather than filling out the application.
Fee Schedule
Unless exempted, the parents/guardians of students transported to and from school shall be charged fees in accordance with Board-approved schedules.
Passes and tickets will be sold at all district schools. No money will be collected on the bus.
Families with more than two bus-riding students shall be entitled to purchase each child's pass at three-fourths of the regular charge.
