The Board recognizes that transportation for most district students to and from school is required for the promotion of education by convenient access, the safeguarding of children, and the partial equalization of inequities among students which may have been caused by the placement of school facilities. Therefore, the Board of Education directs the Superintendent or designee to arrange transportation for:
a) All district students except for those students who are deemed to be able to walk safely to and from school.
b) Students
who are educationally handicapped and are transported to school sites other
than the Chester Township Schools.
c) Students
participating in Board approved field trips or extra curricular activities
d) Students
attending nonpublic schools who are entitled to transportation under 18A:39.
All students riding on
buses shall be required to observe the district’s bus conduct regulations or
risk loss of the privilege of such transportation. Buses and vans, whether contracted or district owned, shall be
kept in optimum condition and shall conform to all safety regulations.
