• Parochial / Private School Transportation Request Form (Google Form)

The Lawrence Public Schools considers the bus to be an extension of the classroom, which means the same standards of behavior on the school bus apply as do in school. The following protocols will be implemented this school year to assure the health and safety of students and staff while on the bus.

• Transportation Department Bus Safety Protocol (Bilingual)

The Lawrence Public Schools considers the school bus to be an extension of the classroom. That means the same standards of behavior on the school bus apply as do in school. For example, students should remain in their seats and they should not: hang out of windows, push or fight with other students, throw things, or try to distract the driver.

Students who violate school-based rules or the Discipline Code Book while on the bus may be disciplined, referred to school principal and/or denied transportation. Some school buses may be equipped with video cameras and the video tapes may be used as evidence in disciplining students who misbehave on the bus.

Some families arrange to have their children driven to and from school by a private transportation service or individual. For safety reasons, the school will not release a student to anyone other than the custodial parent or guardian without the parent’s or guardian's written permission. When arranging private transportation for a child, parents or guardians should be sure to sign a release form available from the school the child attends. This form releases the Lawrence Public Schools from any liability if there is a problem with the private service.

Private Transportation Providers are encouraged to complete this form: 2024-25 Private Transportation (Google Forms)

Lawrence Public Schools provides transportation service for students with disabilities in accordance with their Individualized Education Program (IEP) or Section 504 Individual Accommodation Plan (IAP). Some students receive door-to-door service.

For students who may have medical or physical conditions that prevent them from walking to school or to the corner bus stop, the district may provide door-to-door medical transportation; however, these are rare cases. To be considered for this special service, a child’s doctor must complete a Request for Medical Transportation Form. This form is available from the transportation office. Please return the completed form to the transportation office so it may be forwarded to the Health Services Department, which will determine if a child’s medical condition meets eligibility guidelines established by the Lawrence Public Schools. Results letters for all inquiries will be sent in a timely fashion.
