Students in Kindergarten through eighth grade living between seven-tenths (.7) and under one and one-half (1.5) miles from the school they attend are considered Optional Bus Riders. 

Subject to availability, parents/guardians of Optional Bus Riders will have the opportunity to pay for bus service at an annual fee established by the Board of Education of Kirby School District 140. Please note, optional transportation is not provided to Preschool students. 

Optional transportation requests are taken on a first-come, first-served basis and routed if/when space becomes available. Please email Carly Grad at cgrad@ksd140.org or call the Transportation Department at (708) 532-8539 as soon as registration opens to get placed on the waiting list. Families must be registered in order to request optional bus service.

The number of Optional Bus Riders assigned to bus routes is determined on a case-by-case basis and varies on availability by the school and routes each school year. 

When the Transportation Department assigns a bus route to an optional rider on the waiting list, the Business Office will contact the family regarding payment of transportation fees. Families must register their student and pay their fees or set up a payment plan in order to receive optional transportation. Installment plans for transportation fees are available through our Business Office (708-342-5513).

Please email Carly Grad at cgrad@ksd140.org or call the Transportation Office at (708) 532-8539 for more information.
