The Board of Education is required to provide transportation services to K-8 pupils living more than two miles from school and 9-12 students living more than two and one-half miles from school.   In the event a parent/guardian of a pupil eligible for transportation services wishes to waive transportation services for that school year, a transportation services waiver form should be completed and submitted. If circumstances change during the school year due to a family or economic hardship, transportation services can be reinstated. Please visit the transportation department on the district website shsd.org for the waiver form.
