Elementary and secondary students will be required to walk no more than 3/4 miles from their property to the bus stop or school unless, in the opinion of the Board, a safety condition warrants otherwise.
Except for locations on roads designated as hazardous, bus stops will be at least 1/4 mile apart.
The district will comply will all requirements of the "Hazardous Roads" Act.
The district buses will not travel into streets or roads terminating in a cul-de-sac or dead-end unless required by State regulations.
District Transportation vehicles will "back up" during their routes only when alternate routes are not feasible for safety or economic reasons.
Transportation vehicles will be routed in the most efficient manner consistent with safety and State law.
Subject to other provisions of this policy, bus stops will be established in housing plans having a loop or through streets for only the elementary public and private school students in the morning and afternoon, except where State regulations regarding handicapped and special needs students prevail.
Buses will not travel into developments when construction equipment, materials, or vehicles may block or hinder safe access.
The Transportation Department will develop a plan annually for eliminating or consolidating bus stops.
