Transportation to and from a child care facility is available on Shenendehowa school buses consistent with Board of Education policy 5720. Once you apply for alternate transportation, you will not be asked to re-apply for this service unless there is a change from the arrangements in place. We will assume you will use the same daycare arrangements for the upcoming school year as you now have in place.  Alternate transportation arrangements are not carried over for students entering first, sixth and ninth grades.  A new alternate transportation form will need to be submitted for these transitional years.

BOE Policy 5720-Regulations

Transportation to a child care location outside the attendance boundaries established for the school a student attends may often involve a longer bus ride than usual. It may also involve riding a shuttle bus, or transferring between buses at a transfer site, or pick-up and drop-off at a centralized site. If a centralized pick-up or drop-off site is used, the student’s parents may be required to take responsibility for transportation between home and the centralized site.
Elementary attendance boundaries are subject to change to accommodate changes in our elementary population. If new boundaries are established, it is possible that the busing availability will also change.
For a student whose family's request for busing is not met by Policy 5720, assignment to a school outside the student's attendance zone boundaries may be considered in cases of extreme hardship.

* "Route 146 corridor" describes an area encompassing day care providers located along and just north and south of Route 146.
