Elementary magnet students must reside in the established transportation zone for a particular magnet school. Every effort will be made to accommodate students who have applied by the deadline, but are accepted off Waiting Lists. Magnet bus routes are established to provide safe, efficient, and reliable transportation. Stops may be up to one mile from the home. Because magnet routes transport students outside the school's normal attendance area, they are often longer than neighborhood routes.
Stops are also farther apart due to the increased length of the route.
Magnet schools rely on different patterns to transport students. Some magnet schools cluster with other schools, while others use hubs, then shuttles. Magnet routes are based on the address in the data base at the time of application. If you move after that time, existing stops may be utilized. If you live outside an elementary transportation zone, or move to an area outside the trunk of an existing route, the closest existing stop must suffice.
