Transportation Elibility Guidelines
- All Students in Kindergarten through Grade 12 living more than one mile from their assigned school are eligible for transportation.

Additional Information
Excerpt for School Committee Policy - Student Transportation
Each year the Hudson Public School district reviews student enrollment and existing bus routes to ensure efficient and safe transportation for all eligible students.
Safety is a responsibility that is shared between the family and the school. While the law requires the School Department to provide a defined level of transportation, it does not relieve parents/guardians of students from the responsibility of supervision until the student boards the bus in the morning. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to ensure the student safely arrives at, and departs from, the bus stop. The parent/guardian is responsible for escorting the student to and from the bus stop where there are no sidewalks, where sidewalks are only on one side, where the bus stop is on the opposite side of the street, and where there are traffic or other safety concerns.
This policy, being consistent with current state law, may require students to walk up to a mile to a bus stop
