The transportation policies of the Avon Board of Education are aimed at providing a safe, efficient, and economical method of getting students to and from school. It is the desire of the Avon Local School District that transportation be scheduled in a way that the best educational interest of the students can be served.
The safety and welfare of District students will be the first consideration in all matters pertaining to transportation. Details on bus safety as relating to safety precautions, weather conditions, passenger safety and emergencies, maintenance of operations, and related items of the transportation program are under Board Policy (File: EEAC).
The District furnishes transportation in compliance with State Law. This fact does not relieve parents of students from the responsibility of supervision until such time as the student boards the bus in the morning and after the student leaves the bus at the end of the school day.
Transportation FAQs
I cannot see my child's Bus Stop from our home. My stop is simply too far away from the house. What are the laws in regards to Bus Stop locations?
Rule 3301-83-13 Pupils in grades Kindergarten through Eighth grade may be required to walk up to one-half mile to a designated stop. With that in mind, we attempt to designate stops near home or at nearby intersections.
