What transportation requirements are in place for handicapped children?
Handicapped children who have special transportation needs must have those needs detailed in the child’s IEP (Individualized Educational Plan) under Related Services. These needs may include the requirement for a handicapped aide on the bus with the child, door-to-door service, transportation for a handicapped child living less than one mile from school, and transportation for special education summer school. If written into the child’s IEP these expenses are considered eligible for state transportation aid.
