Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 38, September 20, 2024

7.1. In WV Universal Pre-K programs, transportation is considered a support, not a mandated service, unless it is a related service for children with disabilities in accordance with state and federal requirements, including W. Va. 126CSR92, Policy 4336, West Virginia Transportation Policy and Procedures Manual (Policy 4336). When transportation is provided:

7.1.a. bus drivers are trained in the supervision of young children (in addition to any other staff development received);

7.1.b. children transported by a school bus who attend a WV Pre-K classroom and are not yet enrolled in kindergarten will sit in a segregated area of the vehicle with other WV Pre-K children;

7.1.c. staff shall be available to assist children on and off buses at the WV Pre-K site. If a parent/guardian is unable to meet the bus for after school drop-off, there shall be a person designated by the parent/guardian to assist the child;

7.1.d. bus drivers must inspect the bus at all final drop-off points to assure that no children are left on the bus and these inspections must be charted. A log of daily inspections shall be maintained on file with the supervisor; and

7.1.e. at each WV Pre-K site where bus transportation is provided, a designated person must follow-up within the first hour of arrival time with the family of any child who is not present or accounted for each day.
