Transportation will be provided for all resident
students attending private and parochial schools outside the District

their child be transported to a parochial or private school during
the next school year should submit proof of residence and fill out
the transportation request form at Pupil
Personnel (or see below) no later than April 1
of the preceding year, or within thirty days
of moving into the District.
