Service exceptions
Ang mga mag-aaral na hindi kuwalipikado para sa regular na serbisyo ng bus ay maaaring makatanggap ng “space available” exception kung mayroong bukas na upuan sa ruta ng bus. Ang mga magulang ay maaaring mag-aplay para sa pagbubukod na ito sa pamamagitan ng pagkumpleto ng form na “Kahilingang Sumakay sa School Bus on a Space Available Basis” form (Form CS-101) kasama ang nakumpletong bus pass application form na matatagpuan sa School Bus Handbook. All forms are located at the school office. Forms must be submitted, reviewed and approved by the school principal prior to using the bus service. The approval process may take up to four or more weeks. Students will not be permitted to ride the bus until the application is approved, so parents should plan accordingly.
Service limitations
Regular school bus service is limited to transportation to and from the student’s residential address on record and school.
Department-contracted school buses do not travel on private property or on private roads. This includes, but is not limited to, private developments, apartment complexes, business parking or driveway areas.
HIDOE school bus stops and travel will be limited to paved and/or maintained public roads and public access roads. Families may need to drive their student to the nearest HIDOE bus stop if they reside on a private road and/or an area listed above.
Bus Stop Information
Ang Sangay ng Mga Serbisyo sa Transportasyon ng Estudyante ng Departamento ay gumagamit ng isang bus stop locator/bus schedule information system na tinatawag na “Infofinder i.” This program enables parents and guardians to search for the nearest school bus stop to a home address. The website also provides estimated morning pick-up and afternoon drop-off times for all school grade levels statewide.
The Department highly recommends a responsible adult be present at the bus stop in the morning and in the afternoon for children 10 and under. Bus drivers are not responsible to match each child with a specific adult at the bus stops. It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to ensure a responsible adult is at the bus stop or make alternative arrangements for their child if they are unable to walk alone to and from the bus stop.
How To Find Your Bus Route
- Bisitahin Infofinder i.
- Enter a street name or residential address.
- Users will have the option to modify their school search selection via a dropdown menu.
- Ang mga resulta ay ipinapakita sa isang listahan at form ng mapa.
Tandaan: Ang mga takdang-aralin sa hintuan ng bus ay mapupuno lamang para sa paaralan ng iyong anak kung nakatira ka sa isang karapat-dapat na kapitbahayan (mahigit 1 milya mula sa paaralan para sa elementarya, higit sa 1.5 milya para sa mga estudyante sa middle/high school), at kung mayroong ligtas na hintuan ng bus sa iyong lugar.
Due to the ongoing, nationwide bus driver shortage, regular education bus routes have been modified to improve service and safety for all student riders. If no bus stop locations are listed for your school, please contact your school office or email [email protected] para sa tulong.
