Busing

School District No. 67 provides transportation services to students who qualify under the following student transportation guidelines:

· Grade K-3 must reside more than 4.0 km from school

· Grade 4-12 must reside more than 4.8 km from school

Over the past years, the school district has been able to provide some students with transportation to which they have not been entitled under the above guidelines. These students are classified as Courtesy Riders.

Please be advised that from time to time, the school district may be required to limit the number of courtesy riders on some bus routes.

Where bus transportation is not available for students residing more than 4.0 km away from a school, students with special needs only may obtain a Transportation Assistance Application form from your child’s school office or by linking to Transportation Assistance Application form in either Microsoft Word format or Acrobat Reader format. (Download the latest Acrobat Reader). Please forward the completed form to:

School District No. 67 (Okanagan Skaha)
Attention: Accounts Payable
425 Jermyn Avenue
Penticton, BC
V2A 1Z4

All applications for transportation assistance must be received by the School Board Office by June 30th of the school year in which they pertain.
