Transportation Eligibility
Governing Board Policy EEA and TUSD's Post Unitary Plan outline the requirements for transportation eligibility.
According to Policy EEA, school bus transportation is provided for students as follows:
- Students attending elementary school who live 1 ½ miles or more from school.
- Students who attend a K-8 school who live 1 ½ miles or more from school.
- Middle school students or sixth grade students who are assigned to a junior high school who live at least 2 ½ miles from school with no public bus service.
- Junior high school students who live at least 2 ½ miles from school with no public bus service.
- Senior high school students who live at least 2 ½ miles from school with no public bus service.
- In accordance with A.R.S. §15-764, handicapped children (as defined by A.R.S. §15-761) in connection with any program, class or service.
If you choose a school through Open Enrollment, your child may be eligible for transportation under the provisions in the district's Post Unitary Plan. If you reside in the attendance area of a school belonging to a different group from the school your child attends, then your child is eligible for transportation, providing you meet the qualifications listed above from Policy EEA.
