When is it appropriate for DSS to provide public transportation passes versus busing for students it has placed in temporary housing?
It depends on what modes of transportation are offered by the school district of attendance. DSS should provide the same or comparable mode of transportation (e.g. yellow school bus, van) as that used by the school district for students who are permanently housed (Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, Administrative Directive 06-ADM-15).
