What is defined as a school bus route and who approve these routes?
A bus route begins when a bus leaves a point (home, school, etc.) empty and proceeds on a predetermined route, picking up pupils and then traveling to a school(s) until the bus is empty; and returning the pupils to a designated point after school (5 CSR 30-261.010 (5)(A)(3)). These routes are required to be approved by the local board of education by the end of October and any revisions to the routes by the June board meeting.
