Parents may choose the school they wish their children to attend in accordance with the Choice of School Process.  

School bus transportation is provided to students living two or more miles from the nearest available school.  If a parent chooses a school that is not a neighborhood school, the parent may be responsible for providing transportation to the selected school.
