All mileages determined for the purpose of applying transportation policy shall be calculated and maintained by one computer-based methodology. The method selected should provide information consistent and uniform throughout the district in an efficient manner. In many schools where bus transportation is available, parents whose children live too close to school to receive free busing still desire the transportation service on a pay basis. The student is responsible to get to the nearest established stop on the existing route. Payment can only be made by the semester or the year.
Discounts apply for early payment.
The same safety regulations apply to all payriders. Registration for payrider service must be made with Laidlaw Transit, Inc. A 3 percent discount per student on all rates for additional students in the family is also offered. Safety is a major concern in the Olathe School District. We continually stress the importance of the students being safe riders.
