TRANSPORTATION SURVEY - SAANICH SCHOOLS

The Board of Education is reviewing its bus transportation policy and is seeking your feedback.
The Saanich School District currently has 21 bus routes serving the 14 neighbourhood schools, as well as service for students with unique needs. Current Board policy includes the following guiding principles for the provision of bus transportation services:

• Routes are established to ensure transportation for those students living outside the following walk limits by traveled road or walkway from the nearest school in their catchment area: grades K to 5 - 4.0 km; and grades 6 to 12 - 4.8 km.
• Transportation routes are established to operate within the operating budget established by the Board
• Programs of choice, including French Immersion, are maintained without transportation assistance from the district.
• When necessary to address a concern of safety or to serve a district program catchment area, additional school transportation may be provided.
• Consideration shall be given to providing service when a student is directed to attend a school other than the nearest school in their catchment area.
• Courtesy riders (i.e. not otherwise entitled to bus transportation by policy) may be transported on existing routes only if additional capacity is available.
