In order to ride the school bus pupils are required to attend the school
service area in which they reside. However, in order to meet the needs
of individual students, attendance variances may be approved outside of
the open enrollment period in the following situations:
- A bilaterally approved (by agreement between a pupil's sending and
receiving school principal) building principal recommendation, or
- A secondary student's request to enroll in a course of study not offered
at the assigned school, or
- An elementary student's request for an open facility school or self-contained
classroom program not offered at the assigned school, or
- A student request to attend or not attend a school with a sibling,
or
- A school psychologist recommendation for a student change of environment.
In cases where a variance is approved, transportation to and from school
becomes the responsibility of the parent or guardian. All requests for
variances must have the approval of the parent or guardian.
