Removal of Student from Bus Route

If a student is assigned to a bus route and does not ride for ten (10) consecutive days, the student will be removed from the bus route through the De-assignment Process. 

The De-assignment process will begin after a student has not ridden the bus for five (5) consecutive days.  

• The driver will complete a de-assignment form.
• The form is forwarded to the school by the appropriate Zone Transportation Office. 
• The school will hold the form for five (5) days to allow school personnel time to look into why the student is not riding. 
• After investigation, if the school receives no response from parents or confirms transportation is no longer required, the student's ridership code will be changed in PowerSchool.  
• Once the ridership code is changed, information will automatically be sent to transportation and the student's bus assignment will be removed.  

 Exception: There will be no disruption in service for students with excused absences or participating in sports.  These students will not be removed from the bus route.

De-assignment Process To ensure compliance with General Stature 115c-246(c), students that do not ride for ten (10) or more consecutive days will be removed from the active bus roster. This process will be used when de-assigning students from a bus.
