712 Transportation

712.1 Student School Transportation Eligibility

Code No. 712.1

STUDENT SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION ELIGIBILITY

Elementary and middle school students living more than two miles from their designated school attendance centers and high school students living more than three miles from their designated attendance centers are entitled to transportation to and from their attendance center at the expense of the school district.

Transportation of students who require special education services will generally be provided as for other students, when appropriate.  Specialized transportation of a student to and from a special education instructional service is a function of that service and, therefore, an appropriate expenditure of special education instructional funds generated through the weighting plan.

Transportation of a student to and from a special education support service is a function of that service, and is specified in the individualized education program (IEP) or the individualized family service plan (IFSP).  When the IEP or IFSP team determines that unique transportation arrangements are required and the arrangements are specified in the IEP or IFSP, the school district will provide one or more of the following transportation arrangements for instructional services and the AEA for support services:

  • Transportation from the student's residence to the location of the special education and back to the student's residence, or child care placement for students below the age of six.
  • Special assistance or adaptations in getting the student to and from and on and off the vehicle, en route to and from the special education.
  • Reimbursement of the actual costs of transportation when by mutual agreement the parents provide transportation for the student to and from the special education.

The school district is not required to provide reimbursement to parents who elect to provide transportation in lieu of agency-provided transportation.

A student may be required, at the board's discretion, to meet a school vehicle without reimbursement up to three-fourths of a mile.  The board may require the parent to transport their children up to two miles to connect with school bus vehicles at the expense of the school district when conditions deem it advisable.  It is within the discretion of the board to determine such conditions.  Parents of students who live where transportation by bus is impracticable or unavailable may be required to furnish transportation to and from the designated attendance center at the expense of the school district.  Parents, who transport their children at the expense of the school district, are reimbursed at the rate per mile set by the state. 

Transportation arrangements made by agreement with a neighboring school district will follow the terms of the agreement.  Students, who choose to attend a school in a school district other than their resident school district, will provide transportation to and from the school at their own expense.

Code No. 712.2

STUDENT CONDUCT ON SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION

Students utilizing school transportation will conduct themselves in an orderly manner fitting to their age level and maturity with mutual respect and consideration for the rights of the school vehicle driver and the other passengers.  Students who fail to behave in an orderly manner will be subject to disciplinary measures.

The driver will have the authority to maintain order on the school vehicle.  It is the responsibility of the driver to report misconduct to the building administrator.

The board supports the use of recording devices on school buses used for transportation to and from school as well as for field trips, curricular or extracurricular events.  The recording devices will be used to monitor student behavior and may be used as evidence in a student disciplinary proceeding.  The recordings are student records subject to school district confidentiality, board policy and administrative regulations.

After three (3) warnings for bad conduct, the building principal will have the authority to suspend transportation privileges of the student or impose other appropriate discipline.

712.4R1 Transportation Equipment

Code No. 712.4R1

TRANSPORATION EQUIPMENT

School bus deficiencies fall into one of the three following categories:

  • Notes: Items that are minor and typically do not require an immediate repair; however, they do provide an alert to upcoming concerns.
  • 30-day repairs: Items that need to be repaired within 30 calendar days and are typically not major safety concerns. The vehicle is allowed to be used for student transportation during the 30-day repair timeframe.
  • Out-of service (OOS): Items that impact the immediate safety of the vehicle and must be repaired prior to the vehicle being used for student transportation.

Additionally, once a 30-day repair item exceeds the maximum number of days allowed for repair, the impacted item moves to the OOS category. Thus, the vehicle is not allowed to transport students until repairs have been made.

Call-Back Process

Call-back inspections will be made on all school vehicles found to have deficiencies; however, priority will be given to those vehicles with the most serious initial inspection concerns. This includes issues with brakes, tires, and/or suspension. Special effort will be made to ensure OOS vehicles are not used for student transportation until repairs have been completed.

During call-backs, inspectors will check reported repairs to verify the two criteria listed below have been met.

  • 30-day repairs are completed in the allotted timeframe.
  • OOS vehicles are not used for student transportation until the vehicle has been repaired.

In the event Department inspectors determine OOS vehicles were used prior to completion of repairs, and/or have been falsely reported as being repaired, the following process and protocol will be put into place.

1. Report the situation to local school district officials, including:

A. Transportation Director

B. Superintendent

C. School Board President

2. Report the situation to the Iowa State Patrol for any possible legal action or charges.

Per the Iowa Freedom of Information Act and Open Records Law, when requested, the Department is also obligated to share any and all inspection records with any member of the public, including the media. It is the expectation of the Department that OSS and 30-day repairs are made properly and in a timely way.

Fraudulent activity may lead to legal action and is a clear ethical violation related to educational licensure.

Iowa Code § 285.15 states the following (emphasis added):

The failure of any local district to comply with the provisions of this chapter or any other laws relating to the transportation of pupils, or any rules made by the department of education under this chapter or the final decisions of the area education agency board, or the final decisions of the department of education shall during the period such failure to comply existed forfeit the rights to collect transportation costs from school or parents while operating in such illegal manner.

Any superintendent, board, or board member who knowingly operates or permits to be operated any school bus transporting public school pupils in violation of any school transportation law shall be deemed guilty of a simple misdemeanor.

Recommended Practices

The ability to report repairs online gives the person assigned to complete the report a large responsibility for recording accurate and timely repairs. Recording false information regarding repairs can result in substantial legal action against the reporting party and his/her district. To prevent legal problems from developing, the following practices are recommended.

  • Always handwrite the repairs on the Inspection System Summary sheet, then sign and submit a copy to the Department via FAX (515-242-5988, Attn: Transportation Department).
  • Keep a copy of the signed Inspection System Summary in every vehicle at all times.
  • Make and report repairs in a timely manner.
  • Honestly report all repairs. DO NOT FALSIFY REPAIR RECORDS!

The Transportation Coordinator is responsible for completing all repairs and complying with this procedure.

Code No. 712.8

TRANSPORTATION OF NONRESIDENT AND NONPUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS

The board has sole discretion to determine the method to be utilized for transporting nonresident and nonpublic students.  Nonresident students paying tuition may be, and resident students attending a nonpublic school accredited by the State Department of Education, will be transported on an established public school vehicle route as long as such transportation does not interfere with resident public students' transportation.  Nonresident and nonpublic school students will obtain the permission of the superintendent prior to being transported by the school district.

Parents of resident students who provide transportation for their children attending a nonpublic school accredited by the Iowa Department of Education will be reimbursed at the established state rate.  This reimbursement is paid only if the school district receives the funds from the state.  If less than the amount of funds necessary to fully reimburse parents of the nonpublic students is received by the school district, the funds will be prorated.

The charge to the nonresident students is determined based on the students' pro rata share of the actual costs for transportation.  The parents of these students are billed for the student's share of the actual costs of transportation.  The billing is according to the schedule developed by the superintendent.  It is the responsibility of the superintendent to determine the amount to be charged and report it to the board secretary for billing.

Continued transportation of nonresident and nonpublic school students on a public school vehicle route will be subject to resident public school students' transportation needs.  The superintendent will make a recommendation annually to the board regarding the method to be used.  In making a recommendation to the board, the superintendent will consider the number of students to be transported, the capacity of the school vehicles, the financial condition of the school district and other factors deemed relevant by the board or the superintendent.

Nonresident and nonpublic school students are subject to the same conduct regulations as resident public students as prescribed by board policy, and to other policies, rules, or regulations developed by the school district regarding transportation of students by the school district.
