Director of Transportation: 472-7877

Transportation is provided for those children in Kindergarten through grade 8 who live more than two (2) miles and grades 9 through 12 who live more than three (3) miles from the school they attend. Eligible pupils will be given identification cards the first day of school.

In accordance with Education law and Board of Education policy, all requests for transportation of children to private and parochial schools oustide the district for the school year 2010-2011 must be submitted in writing by parent, guardian, or authorized representative no later than April 1, 2010. Requests may be sent to the Bayport-Blue Point Transportation Office, 189 Academy Street, Bayport, NY 11705.

Transportation authorization is not automatic or continuous from school year to school year; requests must, therefore, be filed each year for children requiring such transportation. For those planning to apply or who have applied to a private or parochial school and are still awaiting formal acceptance, an application must be on file by April 1, 2010. This application should include each and every school (up to two) that your child/children may attend during the 2010-2011 school year. In this way, the district may include the cost for transporting your child/children in the 2010-2011 operating budget and relieve parents of this financial responsibility.

It is the policy of the School District to provide transportation to private and parochial schools no more than 15 miles from the home of the child.

For more information, please contact the Director of Transportation.
