Transportation FAQs

STUDENT BUS TRANSPORTATION

In order to streamline the process for registering students for transportation, a new procedure has been developed that will begin with the 2007-2008 school year.

New Students

• New student transportation registration will now be part of the school enrollment process.  Parents may request transportation services on the CCSD Student Registration Form (CCF-705) when enrolling their student(s) for school.

Current Students

• Current students that remain at the same school, have the same home address, and are receiving transportation will automatically be registered for transportation for the following school year.  Annual registration is no longer required.
• Current students that change schools, move, or now require transportation must complete a Student Information Update form to update their school and transportation information.  The Student Information Update form is available at your student’s school.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. Who is eligible to ride the school bus?
   1. Transportation is available for students who reside two miles or more from their zoned school according to the guidelines in Clark County School District Regulation 3531, Student Transportation Guidelines, which can be accessed at:  http://ccsd.net/directory/pol-reg/pdf/3531R.pdf
2. How can I register my student(s) for Clark County School District bus transportation?
   1. Registering for transportation is easy.  When you register your student for school, you will complete a Clark County School District Registration Form.  Just check the appropriate line in the Transportation Requested For box at the bottom of the form.  Please keep in mind that requesting transportation does not mean your student is automatically eligible for transportation.  Eligibility will be verified by the Transportation Department.  Students who are eligible will be assigned a bus stop and receive an email (if an email address is provided) or a letter with their transportation information.  Non-eligible students will also receive an email or letter explaining their status.  In addition, student transportation eligibility and bus stop information are available online at:  http://www.ccsd.net/schools/transportation

   Please note:  If you do not require bus transportation for your student, it isn’t necessary to complete the Transportation Requested For box at the bottom of the Registration Form.

   If your student is currently enrolled in Clark County School District and you have moved, changed schools, and/or need transportation, please complete a Student Information Update form available at your student’s school.

   2. If your student is enrolled in self-contained special education classes and requires transportation, please contact their case manager.  The Special Education Instructor-Facilitator (SEIF) at your student’s school will assist you in this process.

   4. If your student is attending a behavior or continuation school, the school will complete the form required for requesting transportation.
3. How can I determine my student(s) bus stop location(s) and arrival time(s)?
   1. Once you complete the Clark County School District Registration Form and check the appropriate line in the Transportation Requested For box at the bottom of the form, the information is sent to the Transportation Department for verification of eligibility.  Students who are eligible for bus transportation will be assigned a bus stop and receive an email (if an email address is provided) or a letter with their transportation information.  In addition, student transportation eligibility and bus stop information are available online at: http://www.ccsd.net/schools/transportation or by calling a transportation representative at 799-8111.
4. How is the distance between a school and a students’ residence measured to determine student eligibility for transportation?
