2011-12 School Bus/Bell Schedule Update

 

Trasportation

The Transportation Department is responsible for transporting 17,000 students to 16 public schools and 150 non-public and charter schools over 750 square miles each day. Our bus service is contracted with George Krapf Jr. & Sons and On the Go Kids, Inc. Although our contracted carriers supply the drivers and buses, the West Chester Area School District generates the annual bus routes using a computerized routing software package and develops transportation policies and guidelines.

The Transportation Dept. maintains tedious records including daily miles driven and number of students on each bus. The PA Dept. of Education uses this information to calculate a state subsidy for a portion of our transportation costs.
