  1. BUS STOP CHANGE REQUEST FORM 2014-2015 Mail your Bus Stop Change Request to: Rochester Public School District 535 Transportation Services Office 615 7th Street SW Rochester, MN 55902 Or fax your request to 507-328-4258 TRANSPORTATION SERVICES Please complete this form only after reviewing our Bus Stop and Routing Criteria and determining that your situation may require special consideration. When making your request, please keep in mind: • Bus Stop & Routing Criteria applies to all eligible riders in the 535 School District. • Buses will not travel into cul-de-sacs less than ½ mile, private roads (i.e. apartment complexes and home associations), dead-end streets or other areas where they cannot safely maneuver. An exception to this may be a bus that is transporting students with disabilities. All students, regardless of age or grade who reside in these areas will need to walk to the assigned bus stop regardless of distance. • Availability of sidewalks is not part of the criteria used in establishing bus stops. • Buses drive by many students’ homes every day. The bus driving by doesn’t warrant adding/changing a bus stop. • Visibility from the home to the bus stop is not part of our criteria for establishing bus stops. Bus stops are collection points in neighborhoods. If a parent/guardian is concerned about watching their child at the stop they will need to walk with them and supervise them at the bus stop. We strongly encourage parents/guardians to arrange for an adult to be at the bus stop whenever students are present. • In order to be consistent and fair in placement of bus stops, we cannot establish stops based on personal circumstances such as employment, daycare or siblings. • Bus drivers do not have the legal authority to make bus stop changes, doing so may result in disciplinary action up to termination. A temporary exception may be made by the driver due to inclement weather or other temporary circumstances, in each case the transportation department must be notified in advance by the driver. • Weather Conditions are not part of the criteria, Minnesota does have seasonal weather changes and it is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to make sure their child is dressed appropriately for the conditions (umbrella, raincoat, winter coat/snow pants, ect..).
