Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024

A. BESE allows the LEA to transport students living within one-mile of the school they attend if there are "exceptional" or hazardous walking situations.

B. The transportation of these students requires special permission from BESE.

1. Approval of requests for the transportation of students living less than one mile from the school they attend will not be granted unless the request for such approval is accompanied by a plan or procedure to eliminate the exceptional conditions (if possible) by providing safe walking areas and conditions.

2. The plan must identify the problem, list proposed solutions, outline procedures to correct the problem, and include the time schedule for completion.

3. When an emergency exists, the state Superintendent of Education may authorize transportation, not to exceed 30 days.

4. The conditions must be reviewed for continued approval. All exceptional conditions shall be reviewed by June 30 of each school year by the local LEA to determine whether corrective actions can be made in order to relieve the need for this transportation.

C.R.S. 17:158(A) allows 15 LEAs to transport within one mile if hazardous conditions exist, but at no cost to the state.

AUTHORITY NOTE: Promulgated in accordance with R.S. 17:158, R.S. 17:160-161, R.S. 17:164-166, and R.S. 17:497.
