Did You Know?–––TRANSPORTATION CHALLENGES

DID YOU KNOW Salisbury must transport students to charter schools and non-public schools located within the district and up to 10 mile radius outside the district’s border?  Because of Salisbury’s geographical makeup, we are required to bus to 36 different public,non-public, and charter schools.

DID YOU KNOW, despite having only four school buildings in our district, Salisbury busses students to 11 charter schools?

  • Arts Academy Charter Elementary School

  • Innovative Arts Academy Charter School

  • Lincoln Leadership Academy Charter School

  • Arts Academy Charter Middle School

  • Seven Generation Charter School

  • LV Academy Regional Charter School

  • Executive Education Academy Charter School

  • DID YOU KNOW the cost of a single bus run for an entire school year is as high as $48,000, depending on the size of the bus and number of days the school is in session?

    Charter & non-public transportation will cost the district approximately $650,000 this school year. While the state will reimburse the district for approximately 25% of the amount, Salisbury taxpayers will be burdened with funding the remainder.

    WHAT CAN YOU DO? Consider contacting our state legislators, asking them to pass legislation that eliminates or reduces the 10 mile radius.
