FAQs
1. How is a fee or no fee determined?
The school department will follow school transportation eligibility criteria of the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE).All children in grades K-6 who reside more than 2 miles from the school they are district zoned to attend, qualify for No Fee transportation services. Children in grades K-6 who live 2 miles or less from the school they are district zoned to attend, and all students in grades 7-12 are required to pay the fee to ride the school bus to and/or from school. These fees must be paid in full at time of registration. Bus fees are nonrefundable.
2. If I do not have to pay a fee for my child/children to ride the school bus to and/or from school, must I register online?
You must register for a bus pass online, regardless of whether or not you have to pay a fee.
3. How is the two mile distance determined for children in grades K-6?
