2009-10 Shuttle Fees

by Daniel Fenn on July 09, 2010

The Mulvane School District is one of only two districts in the state that offer a shuttle service. Due to current budget cuts sustained, the district has elected to introduce a shuttle fee to those families that utilize the shuttle in order to be able to afford to keep providing this vital service.

How it will work: All families that have students that ride the shuttle buses will be required to purchase a shuttle pass for their child or children according to the fee structure illustrated below. Families that have students that ride solely in the morning or afternoon will be able to purchase a bus pass for each child accordingly. Families with students that ride in both the morning and afternoon will be able to purchase a multi-pass for each child. Families with students that only ride every once in a while will also be able to purchase this pass. Families that have four or more students that ride the shuttles both morning and afternoon will be able to purchase a one time family pass good for the whole family. Students that are assigned to a route bus and ride the shuttle from the high school to the route buses in the afternoon will not be required to purchase a shuttle pass.

Implementation of the fee: Shuttle fees will be collected at enrollment by the school secretary and each family will be handed their shuttle passes at that time. All fees will be required to be paid by September 1st. Students will be given several free replacement passes upon the loss of a pass, then be charged for passes after those have been lost. Students without a pass will be allowed on the shuttle and parents will be contacted as soon as possible to arrange payment. There will be NO refunds of this fee for any reason.
