Kearney Public School’s Transportation Department is changing to a more efficient hub and spoke process to get students to and from school. These services will begin with the 2011-12 school year. The new process will reduce the number of buses on the road while adding transportation services for many students previously not eligible to ride the bus. The hub system also supports school choice providing services from any existing bus stop or school to any school in the District. Within this process there will be students who are eligible for free transportation services and others qualifying under our pay-to-ride program.(see details below) KPS will also be discontinuing the practice of stopping at each student’s home in rural neighborhoods and instead will be designating bus stop locations in neighborhoods. Students Eligible for Free Transportation: 1. Living in the attendance boundary of their school and over 4 miles from that school. 2. Continuing (grandfathered) to attend their current 2010-11 school and over 4 miles from that school. 3. Following feeder school path from 2010-11 school to Middle/High School and over 4 miles from the Middle/High School. 4. District Placement Students: Students assigned to attend a school other than their home school. Students Eligible for Pay-to-Ride Transportation: In town students: May meet the bus at their neighborhood school and ride to the school they are attending. Rural students: Attending a school other than their home school or living within 4 miles of their home school. Must meet the bus at an existing stop or school. Buses will not travel outside existing routes to provide Pay-to-Ride services. Eligibility for In Town & Rural Students: Will depend on there being room on the bus for additional students up to 90% of rated capacity. Date Transportation Department receives completed Registration Form with Payment (Must be completed annually) ID Card will be issued to accepted students and must be shown when boarding the bus. Fees: $100.00 per school year $10.00 Lost ID card replacement fee. Pro-rated refunds will be given after the ID card has been returned provided the student moves to a location that makes it unreasonable for them to continue using the service or if the student loses their seat to a student qualifying for free transportation services.
