Question: A Pre-K SPED student who needs a vest to ride the bus to school, but does not have transportation as a related service in the IEP. The vest is able to be put onto the General Education bus. Can this child ride the PRe-K General Education bus that door-door-door drop off? Or does he need a SPED bus? SPED and General Ed students K-5 ride the buses together.
If the vest is placed onto the gen ed bus I see no reason student cannot take that bus. I would make sure that the bus driver knows what the vest is for and maybe look into the student having a 1:1 wrap around.
