According to Pennsylvania Law, nonpublic school children are entitled to transportation to nonpublic schools as follows:
1. A district which provides transportation for resident public school students must also make identical provisions for the transportation of resident nonpublic school students according to the nonpublic school calendar.
2. Transportation for nonpublic school students must be provided to and from the nonpublic school in which the student is enrolled, even if the nonpublic school is located outside the district so long as the distance is not more than 10 miles beyond the district boundaries. (Note: This distance may be in excess of 10 miles from student’s home.)
3. A district may transport children who live along hazardous routes even though the children live within walking distance of the school.
If you think you are eligible for transportation and desire it for the next school year, please complete the request form below as soon as possible.
REQUEST FOR TRANSPORTATION UNDER ACT 372
(A separate form for each child must be completed annually for continued transportation services for all nonpublic school students.)
PLEASE NOTE: A child must be withdrawn from Public School and officially enrolled in NonPublic School in order for Transportation to begin. Act 372 forms are obtained at the NonPublic schools in order to initiate/verify enrollment.
