Parents can choose to opt out of EBR Schools bus services: What to know

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — EBR Schools introduced a new program that allows parents to opt out of school bus services for their children.

School system officials said the Transportation Opt-Out Program lets families decline school bus services for students if they don’t need them. The program was created to improve efficiency for the EBR Schools’ transportation department and improve operations, route planning and shorten travel times.

EBR Schools reassures families that students will still have access to bus services for field trips, sporting events and school-sponsored activities.

Students who live within a one-mile radius of their home school are responsible for their transportation, according to the Louisiana Department of Education.
