- Bus stop review request form
- Bus stop policy and guidelines
-
Weather, traffic, maintenance difficulties and unforeseen incidents are generally responsible for delays in the arrival of a school bus in the morning and afternoon. Drivers check buses before their routes and sometimes find mechanical problems that can cause delays and require driving another bus for that day. Please know that we are doing everything possible to have all buses running on schedule everyday.
-
There may be as many as 50 students on a bus. That would require at least 50 phone calls in a short time frame to parents who are quite possibly at the bus stop with their children. It is just not feasible. Please know that there is a bus on the way.
-
Seat assignments are a positive way for the ride to be consistent and safe. This aids the driver with discipline. The drivers have the authority to assign seats as they deem necessary.
-
To avoid a multitude of potential problems, the driver requires a bus pass from the school to alter the destination of students. A driver cannot make the decision whether the student should be allowed to change their routine and get off with a friend or ride to an entirely different neighborhood. This policy avoids confusion and the chance of students getting lost.
-
Possibly. As we receive new data daily on students we may change bus routes to accommodate new enrollments, changes of address, over loaded buses, and timing issues. Therefore we expect that while bus stop locations will remain relatively constant, bus numbers and stop times may change whenever a route is adjusted.
-
No, articles found on the bus are turned into the appropriate School Building. Most times, the driver of the bus will keep items found on board for several days in an attempt to locate the owner.

Elementary school boundaries
Private, Parochial, Charter School Transportation
The New York Education Law requires that transportation be provided to all the district’s residents that attend a Non-Public School within 15 miles of their home, using the same policies and providing the same levels of service as Public School students. The district uses the shortest, publicly maintained, year-round route available to measure the distance.
The New York Educational Law does provide that if there is an existing student living within 15 miles of
the non-public school they attend, other students living in the district who live more than 15 miles from that school may be transported from a centralized pick-up point.
Any Spencerport student who would like transportation to/from a Private/Parochial School must meet all the criteria stated in New York Education Law and also be Registered with the Spencerport School District.
The "Private, Parochial Transportation Request" form (see forms above) must be filed by April 1 preceding the school year that transportation is being requested. This is so that your student can be included in the planning and budgeting for the school year that starts July 1.
