Special Education Bus Information

If your student has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) that includes transportation as a necessary service, you must submit a Transportation Request Form for the 2025-26 school year or your student may not be scheduled for a school bus on the first day of school (Transportation Request form link below).

Special Education Transportation Form

It is extremely important to submit a form as early as possible to ensure your student receives busing and prevent extended delay. It normally takes 5 to 7 business days for normal processing and up to two weeks to route new students during peak times such as the beginning of the school year.

School Bus Driver Work Requirements

All school bus drivers must go through a thorough screening, which includes fingerprinting by the school district and California Highway Patrol as well as controlled substance testing. They are also required to complete extensive training to obtain and retain their bus driver certification. These are safety sensitive positions that require extensive screening and training as they are transporting our most precious cargo!
