Welcome to the General McLane Transportation Department!
Please contact the transportation department with any district busing questions (see contact information below). Concerns regarding student behavior on buses should be discussed with the school’s principal.
As per the General McLane Transportation Guidelines, we cannot accommodate personal before or after school activities. (birthday parties, sleepovers, ETC) The use of ‘Bus Notes’ or emails will not be honored. Your child must travel to and from school on the bus they are assigned. Contact the Director of Transportation by phone with questions or to discuss emergency situations.
Bus Route Requests 24-25
IMPORTANT NOTE: The deadline for submission of Bus Routing Requests is August 1, 2024. The bus routes will be finalized at that time so that drivers can review and practice their routes. As of August 1 at 3 p.m., Bus Route Requests will not be accepted until October 1, 2024. This is necessary to provide stability to the schedule in fairness to all students.
Bus Route Requests indicating “No Transportation Required” will be accepted at any time. We will reopen bus route requests on October 1st, 2024 on a case-by-case basis.
Address Changes
Address changes must be made through the district registrar’s offices. Buses cannot be routed to a new home address that has not yet been changed with the Registrar’s office.
Please contact your student’s building with any address changes you need. Please note that it takes 24 hours for our routing software to be updated with your new address.
How to submit a Transportation Change
Please note that Bus Route Requests can take up to one week to process, so please plan ahead.
To submit a Transportation Change, you must do one of the following:
- Complete the Bus Routing Request Form (below) if you are a family who has moved within the District OR if you wish to be picked up or dropped off at a location other than your home address.
- Special Request for Variation Form: If both parents live in the district, but live at different locations, children may have one variation from home pick-up or drop-off. Families who fall under this category should fill out the Special Request for Variation Form.
