Holton USD 336 considering bus fees

(KNZA)--The Holton school district is considering establishing bus fees for next school year due to overcrowding on school buses.

USD 336 will hold an informational meeting on the issue Tuesday evening from 5:30 to 6:30 in the Holton High School auditorium. All school patrons are invited.

School officials say the district has been transporting children in tow and this school year, the buses have reached capacity and cannot continue to transport in town children without some changes.

Schools must take care of the transportation needs of children who live more than 2.5 miles from their attendance center, and USD 336 is willing to go about one mile from a child’s attendance center, but will not add any additional stops at this time, as well as get children across U.S 75 Highway.

School officials says 6th-12th grade students whose homes are less than a mile from the attendance center or any K-12 grade student transported that does not go to their home or the current in-town closest drop off would be expected to pay $45 per household, per semester, to ride.
