What transportation is provided for students with special needs?
Transportation for students with special
needs is dictated by the child’s IEP (Individualized Education
Plan). This plan is reviewed yearly by the Committee on Special
Education and appropriate transportation is determined. The
Transportation Department must adhere to the transportation requirements set
forth in the IEP. If a parent feels transportation does not fit the
child’s needs, the parent must go before the Committee on Special Education to
request a change to the IEP. NOTE: having an IEP does not
guarantee transportation.
