[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are 2 cases in which DCPS provides transportation:

1)  Children with special needs may be provided transportation to attend schools that serve their needs.

2)  Children whose IB school is considered "failing" and get into another school OOB may qualify for transportation as part of No Child Left Behind provisions.

You would have to speak with the school and/or DCPS to determine what services you qualify for.[/quote]

I believe this poster is correct.  However, since the District opted out of NCLB (and the federal gov't was paying for this transportation), my understanding is that the city agreed to pick up the cost for the buses for those kids that were already in the program (not incoming or new students who qualified). From what I was told, this program is being phased out.  To my knowledge, there are no parent groups paying for charter buses going to WOTP DCPS schools.  The buses most of you are referring to are these NCLB city funded buses.  If someone else has more knowledge of this, please correct and clarify me.[/quote]
