Transportation
Charter schools are entitled to their proportionate share of transportation funds for eligible students.
The charter school and the school district are required to cooperate in making arrangements so that transportation is not a barrier to equal access for all students residing within a reasonable distance of the charter school.
Transportation of charter students must be consistent with the district school board requirements of all public K-12 students.

Standard Contract
“Should the School choose to provide its own transportation plan rather than contract with the District for transportation services, it shall submit a transportation plan to the District for review and approval.”
