Why are there only a few students on some buses and my child's bus is crowded?

Decisions regarding each bus route are made by careful planning based on information from school registration previous similar routes and Department of Transportation data. Most routes are fixed in late summer and changes made after the first three weeks of school or sooner. Distance from school, number of buses and drivers, and grouping of students and neighborhoods are all factors that are considered. Sometimes it is just not possible to have the exact number of students on every run.

Recommended Bus Capacity:
Grades K-5 - 71
Grades 6-8 - 54
Grades 9-12 - 48
