The Ocean Gate Board School District is a walking district and does not provide district owned or contracted transportation to and from the district school. Arrangements for transportation to and from school shall be the responsibility of the board as required by law to students with disabilities in accordance with the student’s IEP.

Waiver of Eligible Transportation Services

Each school year a parent/guardian of a pupil who is eligible for transportation services under the law may sign a written statement waiving the pupil’s right to those services. This written statement shall be in the form that is determined by the Department of Education.

If there is a case of a family or economic hardship during the school year in which the parent/guardian has waived the pupil’s transportation service rights, the district will make provisions to provide transportation to the pupil during this hardship.
