Who is responsible for transportation?

Parents are responsible for transporting their children to and from school.

If transportation is required in the individualized education program (IEP) for a child with a disability, it must be provided by the nonresident district.

School districts may provide transportation to open enrollment students if they wish.  Usually, if transportation is provided, parents must transport the student to a location in the nonresident district. 

Low-income parents may apply to the DPI for partial reimbursement of their transportation costs.
