Transportation For Special Education Students

IEP teams shall authorize appropriate special education transportation to and from school for special education students who have:

1. An orthopedic or other physical disability that significantly impairs mobility.

2. A severe sensory impairment, such as full blindness or deafness, which puts their safety and well-being at risk.

3. A significant delay in social, emotional or cognitive development, as documented by appropriate assessment data, which puts their safety and well-being at risk.

Students eligible for special education transportation for one of the above reasons may receive such transportation to and/or from a child care provider located within the district.

The district shall provide special education transportation to and from alternative sites or clinics where the student is scheduled to receive a related service included in the student's IEP.

A student who would otherwise not be eligible for special education transportation may receive such transportation if assigned to a site other than his/her neighborhood school for the purpose of receiving special education.

Students admitted to a special education program in the district on an interdistrict transfer agreement must, as a condition of attendance, arrange for the district or SELPA of residence to provide any necessary transportation.
