Non-athletic Charter Bus Requests are handled through an online form.  The form will go through approval steps and be routed to the bus company for fulfillment.

The Workflow

1. A staff member with a PowerSchool login starts a charter bus request.
2. The request is reviewed by the school’s Charter Bus Coordinator.
3. The reviewed request is approved by the API or APSS
4. The approved request is sent to the bus company for scheduling.
5. The bus company schedules the bus and replies with a confirmation.
6. If the date of the scheduled bus has not passed, the Charter Bus Coordinator will have the opportunity to mark the request as cancelled if necessary.  Cancelled requests will be emailed to the bus company.
