Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

The board of trustees of
each school district may establish, and alter, bus routes and establish, and
alter, non-transportation zones. Such routes and zones shall be determined for
each year not later than the regular August meeting of the board; but nothing
herein shall be construed as limiting the board in altering such routes or
zones when change in the condition of the roads, or in the number of pupils
being transported would justify such alteration.
A non-transportation zone shall comprise an area of a school district
designated by the board of trustees which is impracticable, by reason of
sparsity of pupils, remoteness, or condition of roads, to serve by established
bus routes.
Whenever practicable, routes shall be so established that no bus stop
shall be more than one and one-half (1 1/2) miles from the intersection of the
driveway of the home of any pupil otherwise eligible for transportation and
the nearest public road; except that no board of trustees shall be required to
route school buses or other passenger equipment over any road not maintained
as a part of a highway district, county, state or federal highway system, or
by the state or national forest service; except, that the primary requirements
to be observed by the board of trustees are the safety and adequate protection
of the health of the pupils.
