NON-PUBLIC  SCHOOLS

The Pupil Transportation Department provides transportation to students residing within the boundaries of the WASD and attend a Non-Public School.  We currently provide service to 15 Non-Public Schools.  Children who attend a Non-Public School within the boundaries of the WASD or a Non-Public School that is located within 10 miles of the boundaries of the WASD will be bused if eligible.

To be eligible for transportation to a Non-Public School which meets the criteria above, a child must reside over 1.5 miles from the Non-Public School for Grades K – 6 and over 2.0 miles from the Non-Public School for Grades 7 – 12.

If your child is eligible for transportation, click on Transportation to Non-Public School and complete the form and return it to the Pupil Transportation Department.  This form must be completed every year your child will ride the School Bus.
