- To promote desirable student behavior and respect for traffic safety.
- To provide assistance and transportation for students with disabilities.
- To provide transportation for field trips.
KPBSD shall provide transportation services to students attending KPBSD charter schools as follows:
1. Charter school students living within the attendance area of the neighborhood school where the charter school is housed shall be provided transportation services on the same basis as all students in the district who reside within the attendance area of the neighborhood school they attend.
2. Charter school students living outside the attendance area of the charter school they attend shall be provided transportation services on a space available basis along the regular routes that the students attending schools in an attendance area in the district are currently being transported.
3. If a charter school declines pupil transportation services, no funding allocation will be made by the district.
