TRANSPORTATION GUIDELINES<br />
What are the guidelines to qualify for transportation services?<br />
Grades K-1: Child lives 0.5 miles or more from enrolled school<br />
Grades 2-5: Child lives 1.0 miles or more from enrolled school<br />
Grades 6-8: Child lives 1.5 miles or more from enrolled school<br />
Grades 9-12: Child lives 2.0 miles or more from enrolled school<br />
Will my child receive transportation to their Kindergarten through Grade 8 placement?<br />
Transportation eligibility changes as your child progresses in grades (see guidelines above).<br />
As a result, your child may not be eligible to receive transportation throughout all grades that<br />
they are in school. Parents of elementary aged children who select and accept a placement to a<br />
school outside of their Home Zone are not eligible for transportation services.<br />
Transportation will not be provided for elementary students placed in schools outside their Home Zone,<br />
except for these schools:<br />
Achievement First, located in Zone 1, will provide transportation to Zones 1 & 2<br />
Global Communications Academy, located in Zone 1, will provide transportation to students in all 4<br />
Home Zones<br />
How do I know which schools are in my Home Zone?<br />
See the Choice Map on page 17 showing the schools within each Zone. For more detailed<br />
information about the schools and the Zones, please visit www.hartfordschools.org or<br />
http://smartchoices.trincoll.edu.<br />
Are Pre-K students eligible for transportation?<br />
Children ages 3 and 4 in Pre-Kindergarten are NOT eligible for transportation.<br />
My child was placed in a school outside of my Home Zone, but it was not my choice. Can my<br />
child receive transportation?<br />
Yes. Children who are placed outside of their Home Zone due to lack of space in the schools<br />
within their Zone will be provided with transportation to that school for one school year, based<br />
on the mileage parameters detailed above.<br />
My family is currently homeless. Can my child receive transportation?<br />
Yes. Children who are homeless will be provided with transportation regardless of school or<br />
Home Zone. Transportation services are reevaluated when a child’s homeless status changes.<br />
I am a foster parent. Can my child receive transportation to the school that s/he attended<br />
previously? What if it is in a different Zone?<br />
Yes. Foster children will be provided with transportation to their school, regardless of school or<br />
Home Zone.
