Transportation
Starting in Fall 2026, the BCCS Transportation Department will be launching an “opt-in” model for student transportation. This means that families must notify BCCS by August 7 to receive transportation to and from school next fall. This change will help us manage our transportation costs, saving district and taxpayer money, while ensuring the families who want transportation receive the best possible service.
Families can get a head start by filling out this form to request transportation for the upcoming school year. Please note: Families must fill out the form for each child you’d like to receive transportation.
Families will receive reminders from the district over the summer and during our back-to-school preparations about this upcoming change to our transportation model. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at transportation@bccs286.org or call (763) 272-4856.
Find more back to school information about transportation, updating your contact information, and more on our Family Hub.
