Second Stop Requirements
In 2007 the Bradford Area School District school board approved several additions to the existing student transportation policies, particularly in regards to the assignment of bus stops. Some of the additions were added to minimize the confusion and safety risks created when students request bus transportation to stops other their home address on short notice and for non emergency situations. The additions affecting the greatest changes are:
-
Each student will be permitted a maximum of two stop locations. Stops beyond the home address will only be listed for custody or child care issues.
-
All requests for changes in student transportation should be submitted in writing to the building principal at least three (3) school days in advance of the requested change.
-
Emergency situations will be handled on a case-by case basis. The following will not be accepted as emergencies: parent/guardian jobs, short term childcare arrangements, birthday parties, personal appointments, visiting friends, student jobs, or other matters of convince.
-
Requests are for no less than five (5 )days per week.
Students and parents are asked to refer to the district web-site to review the full policy. The website is located at School Board Policy.
With these policies in mind, if you would like to request a second bus stop, please complete the form on the link below. Once completed the form can be faxed to the number listed on the bottom of the form, taken to the transportation department located on Songbird Rd or handed to the front office of the school your child attends.
Please not that it may take up to three days to receive your child’s new stop assignment. Once the stop is assigned it will stay in their records indefinitely or until a new stop is requested.
