TRANSPORTATION

We are pleased to announce that we will be offering paid bus ridership for the 23-24 school year.

In working with First Student, our bus company, it has been determined that enough buses will be available this year to offer paid bus ridership. We are pleased to be able to resume providing this service and we sincerely thank all of our families for their patience and understanding over the last few years as the national bus driver shortage has prevented the district from providing paid bus ridership.

As a reminder, the cost to ride the bus is $300 per student each school year. For example, a family with two students riding the bus would pay $600 per year to transport both of their students.

To sign up for paid bus service, you would normally do so at the time you register for the next school year. However, with the registration process already complete, and the district converting to Infinite Campus as its Student Information System, we will manually add paid riders this year. 

You can call Linda McKeague in our transportation office at (847) 789-5580 to sign up and have your student(s) routed. You can make payment with your school's building administrative assistant when they return to work on August 7, 2023. If you have students attending Iroquois Community School, you may now make the payment at the Iroquois office.

Only students with the following criteria will be offered free Bus Services:

• Students that live more than 1.5 miles from their home school
• Students who qualify due to an approved safety hazard
• Students who qualify for Special Education Transportation
