The Board desires to provide transportation for eligible students in accordance with state and federal law.

The goals of the transportation service are:

To provide maximum safety for students while being transported between home and school and on school-sponsored trips.
To promote desirable student behavior and respect for traffic safety.
To provide assistance and transportation for students with disabilities.
To provide transportation for field trips.

KPBSD will provide transportation services to students attending KPBSD charter schools as follows:

Charter school students living within the attendance area of the neighborhood school where the charter school is housed will be provided transportation services on the same basis as all students in the district who reside within the attendance area of the neighborhood school they attend.
Charter school students living outside the attendance area of the charter school they attend will be provided transportation services on a space available basis along the regular routes that the students attending schools in an attendance area in the district are currently being transported.
If a charter school declines pupil transportation services, no funding allocation will be made by the district.
