In instances of a court ordered shared custody arrangement in which both parents request a bus stop for a student in the district, the parents must provide a copy of the court order to the Transportation Department. The court order must state that the parents share 50/50 physical custody of the student in order to receive transportation to both bus stop locations.  Stop locations cannot cross attendance boundaries for elementary students or incur additional cost to the district.  

In instances of a non-court ordered shared custody arrangement for a student, one (1) permanent bus stop shall be designated as agreed upon by the parents; however, the building principal may give approval for the student to ride a different bus and disembark at an established stop location provided that a note of request has been provided by either of the parents.

Procedure to request shared custody transportation:

• Email your request to the Transportation Department at ojrtransportation@ojrsd.net and include:
  • The name(s) of the student(s)
  • Home address of both parents
  • Contact information for both parents (phone number & email address)
  • Requested start date for transportation to begin
  • Attachment of court order
