JCSD Policy

Although the primary purpose of school buses is to transport district students, the district may also provide transportation services to nonschool groups, nonpublic organizations, staff or patrons for field trips, school-related or nonschool-related activities with prior written approval by the superintendent and transportation supervisor. The district may contract with other public or nonpublic entities to provide transportation services to persons other than district students.

Individuals or groups requesting to use district transportation will complete a form and submit it to the district office. Before final approval, special use of district transportation will also require a signed liability release prior to district authorization.

Approval or denial will be based on capacity, routes, local conditions, adequate supervision, scheduling, or other factors deemed appropriate by the superintendent and transportation supervisor.

To help the district ensure the safe operation of district transportation, passengers will be notified of conduct requirements and rules of conduct will be posted in a conspicuous place on the school bus. A passenger may be denied future use of district transportation for violating a rule of conduct.
