That we are sensitive and responsive to the needs of our customers and committed to ensuring customer satisfaction. 3. That we recognize that we have the ability to create or influence our customers perceptions of City Schools and the Office of Pupil Transportation by our positive attitude and quality performance. III. Student Eligibility for Transportation A. General Eligibility - Transportation eligibility is determined in the same manner for all students, unless otherwise noted. Students are NOT ELIGIBLE for City Schools-operated or contracted transportation service or monthly MTA bus tickets in instances where the students move to other residences and the students parents/guardians elect to keep the students enrolled in the zoned schools for the previous residences. In such instances, the parents/guardians are responsible to provide transportation to and from the schools for their children. When determining the need for transportation, Office of Pupil Transportation staff will work with the school administrators or personnel to approve transportation for students who are: 1
3 1. not within walking distance of the school to which they are assigned a. Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 5 students: 1.0 mile b. Grades 6-12 secondary students: 1.5 miles 2. within walking distance of the school to which they are assigned but do not have a walking route meeting an acceptable level of safety, 3. within walking distance of the school to which they are assigned, but who are deemed by a physician to have a temporary or chronic medical or emotional condition that precludes them from walking to and from school safely or at all, 4. within walking distance of the school to which they are assigned but, pursuant to the No Child Left Behind Act, have chosen to attend another school that is not within walking distance, or 5. homeless, as defined by the McKinney-Vento Holmes Education Assistance Act. B. Eligibility for Students With Disabilities - For students with disabilities, an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) team determines the need for transportation as a related service to ensure a Free Appropriate Public Education. The team considers the following in making an eligibility determination: 1. the student s age (per Code of Maryland Regulations [COMAR] 3 years old through the end of the school year in which the student turns 21 years of age), 2. the student s disability, 3. the student s need for specialized equipment to travel safely to or from his or her assigned school where IEP services can be accessed, 4. the student s need for specific personnel in order to travel safely to or from his or her assigned school where IEP services can be accessed, and 5. the travel time and distance required for the student to travel to or from his or her assigned school where IEP services can be accessed. Transportation eligibility for students with disabilities must be reconsidered by an IEP team, using the above criteria when an assignment has been made to an Alternative Educational Setting due to removal from school for disciplinary reasons, or for posing a danger to self and/or others. Additionally, an IEP team determines the need for transportation for students to access transition services, including vocational assessment, as outlined in the IEP. Students with disabilities who receive transportation as a related service can be suspended from bus service if unsafe conditions exist. School bus personnel who have concerns about the behavior of a student with a disability will complete the four-part School Bus Incident Report and submit it to the student s assigned school and City Schools Transportation Office. School bus personnel are not to give a copy of the incident report to the student s parents/guardians. The copy of the report designated for the parents/guardians is to be given to the school, which will provide the report to the parents/guardians. If deemed necessary, the Transportation Office will coordinate with the student s principal to convene a meeting of the IEP team, the student s parents/guardians and transportation staff to 2
4 determine appropriate corrective actions(s). In instances where a student with a disability cannot be transported by bus, another mode of transportation will be provided. IV. Initiating or Changing Transportation Services Numerous circumstances arise during the school year that may affect a student s transportation service. These include new students entering City Schools, students transferring from one school to another, a change in the student s residence, a change in the student s pick-up or drop-off location, a change in the student s program, and other events that can occur throughout the school year. Initiating or changing transportation service involves a process that generally takes up to three business days before the service begins. The initiation or change of transportation services begins at the school. For a student with a disability, the need and mode of transportation service is determined during the student s IEP meeting. If it is determined that transportation services are to be provided, school personnel are responsible for entering all pertinent information into City Schools Electronic Transportation Request (etr) database. It is the responsibility of the school-based transportation coordinator to ensure that the information is accurate and entered into the database timely. Once the information is entered into the etr database, it must be approved by the area coordinator or the responsible Central Office staff. Once approved by the area coordinator, transportation personnel schedule the student for service. As noted earlier, this process generally takes up to three business days to complete. The process is designed to ensure that all parties (parents/guardians, school personnel, bus contractor, and bus personnel) are fully prepared to start the service and to provide transportation staff sufficient time to determine the mode of transportation needed (bus, taxicab or parent/guardian reimbursement). It also provides sufficient time to notify parents/guardians of the dates and times that services for their children will begin; notify other parents/guardians whose children s pick-up or drop-off times may be affected; secure needed equipment to accommodate any specialized adaptive devices, or make any other specific arrangements that may be necessary. V. Customer Responsibilities Efficient, dependable and safe transportation service cannot exist without the commitment and cooperation of many individuals. The Office of Pupil Transportation staff, students, parents/guardians, school personnel and school bus personnel must understand clearly and agree to support the specific tasks for which they have responsibility. Described below are key actions that members of the above-listed groups need to perform on a consistent basis to ensure that the services provided are of the highest quality. A. Student Responsibilities 1.

Stay out of the street while waiting to board the school bus. 4. Do not approach the bus until it comes to a complete stop. B. When Boarding the Bus: 1. Board the bus in a safe, calm and orderly manner or you may be refused entry. 2. Move safely to your seat and do not block aisles, entrances or exits. C. While On the Bus: 1. Remember that the driver is in complete charge of the bus and students must respect the driver s directions. 2. While the bus is in motion, students who are seated are to sit facing forward in the seats. 3. Students may converse in a normal manner. Name-calling or loud, profane, or obscene language is not permitted. 4. Students must not extend any part of their bodies through the bus windows. 5. Students may not eat, drink, or smoke while on-board the buses. 9
11 6. Books, coats, school equipment, and band instruments may be transported on the bus provided they can be secured in the seat and not placed in the bus aisles. 7. Students are prohibited from throwing items out of the bus windows. 8. Pushing, shoving, and fighting are prohibited. 9. In the event of an emergency, students are to remain in the bus unless otherwise instructed by the school bus personnel or MTA operator, as appropriate. D. Leaving the Bus: 1. Students should remain seated until the bus comes to a complete stop. 2. When unloading, always move a safe distance away from the bus. Never go under the bus for an object. 3. Students should only cross the street at designated pedestrian crosswalks or locations where there is a crossing guard. 4. Students who must cross the street in front of the bus due to the location of their respective residences must move at least 10 feet in front of the bus before attempting to cross the street. Students who do not comply with City Schools Student Code of Conduct on School Buses and MTA vehicles may be denied the privilege of riding buses. Once riding privileges are revoked, students are still required to attend school; however, parents/guardians must make other transportation arrangements for their children. In closing, City Schools encourages parent/guardian input, interest and involvement in the support of safe and orderly transportation services. Please remind your children to adhere to responsible and respectful behavior on school buses and public transportation.
