Contact your child's school to inquire about the bus number your child will ride, as well as the exact location of the bus stop. You must give your home address in order for the school to find the nearest stop.
Inquire about multiple buses your child can ride to school. In some areas, there may be more than one option for your child, so choose the most convenient bus stop. The state of Florida state requires that a bus stop is no more than 1.5 miles away from your residence, for those attending public schools.
Determine if you live more than two miles away from the school. The state of Florida can only provide transportation for students who live within two miles. Those who do not must find an alternative.
