Transportation Plan

Pivot Charter School utilizes School District Services to ensure that transportation is not a barrier to equal access to the charter program as required by section 1002.33,FS. Three busses are currently being run. Pivot also provides the option for students to use the city bus. Pivot will provide city bus passes for any student that wishes to utilize this option.

Pivot Charter School takes full responsibility for all behavior and discipline issues. All bus riders are required to sign a behavior contract. This contract meets the requirements of the district for all students being transported on district owned buses.

Transportation services will be provided by the school to a student whose Individual Education Plan (IEP) stipulates so; in which case, all necessary arrangements will be made to ensure that transportation is not a barrier to equal access to the charter program. Due to the flexible nature of the students’ schedule, many public options are available. If a contract cannot be negotiated with the district, the students may utilize the following options:

• Walk
• Ride a bicycle
• Carpool/ Drive
• Get dropped of by another driver
• School Bus
• Public Bus (Students who take the bus and request a bus pass will be provided a pass at no charge.)

        *All students for whom it is stipulated in an IEP will receive appropriate transportation in an adequately equipped vehicle to and from school and all related functions. Pivot Charter School will insure compliance with federal and state regulations.
