Garfield Re-2 Policies

Bus Scheduling and Routing

Adequate service, safety, and efficient operation shall be the goals in the planning of school bus schedules, routes, and stops.

The transportation director shall be responsible for the development of these transportation plans, which shall be subject to the approval of the superintendent and the Board.

Buses shall operate only on roads that are in city, county, and state-maintained systems.  Roads that are deemed unsafe by the Board shall not be used regardless of city, county, or state status, however.
 

The Board desires that all students be received and discharged from buses as near their homes as possible but on public roads.  Bus stops shall be designed to comply with state law regarding students' embarking and disembarking on major thoroughfares. 

Exceptions to any provision of this policy may be allowed by the Board if it can be proven that the safety and well-being of children dictate such an exception.
