Submit your completed application form to your child's bus driver or school office as soon as possible BUT CERTAINLY NO LATER THAN JUNE 20, 2008. We encourage you to carefully consider your child's school transportation plans for 2008-2009 before submitted a bus pass application form.

Your application will count toward the total number of bus seats we contract for your area. ELIGIBILITY Pursuant to Hawaii Administrative Rule (HAR) 8-27-5, students must reside A MILE OR MORE FROM THE SCHOOL WITHIN THEIR ATTENDANCE AREA to be eligible for regular school bus service.

Parents can apply for space available bus service by completing a Request for Student to Ride School Bus on a Space Available Basis, (Form CS-101, printed on the previous page or available at the school office) along with the bus pass application form on pages A1-A2 of this booklet. Submit both forms to the school office for review. Approval/disapproval for space available bus service requests can take four or more weeks after the first day of school. No student will be permitted to ride the bus on a space available basis without prior approval, so parents are strongly urged to plan accordingly. Furthermore, please note that space available bus riders are not eligible for free bus service.
