Summary:
|
In spring we began discussion with 511 Contra Costa to determine how they could help us provide transportation for students from Glenbrook to El Dorado and Valley View middle schools. 511 Contra Costa graciously offered a $50,000 grant for the 2011-12 school year to defray the cost of transportation. Based on this generous contribution we will be able to offer the following bus routes:
Three buses daily from Glenbrook to El Dorado will pick students up at Glenbrook at 8:00 a.m. Two buses will pick- up students at El Dorado immediately following school and one bus will pick-up students participating in the after school program at 5:30 p.m. All buses will drop students off at Glenbrook.
One bus daily from Glenbrook to Valley View will pick up at Glenbrook at 6:45 a.m. and return students to Glenbrook immediately following school.
Based on the 511 Contra Costa grant, the cost for round trip transportation to and from Glenbrook for families during the 2011-12 year will be $170 per student. To make the payment more manageable, students can purchase a semester bus pass for $85. No bus pass will be required until after September 9th so that students can purchase them at school.
Contra Costa 511 also has a website http://511contracosta.org/ where any parent or guardian in the District can sign up to find car pool partners.
