Enclosure

The School Code of Illinois releases school districts from the requirement to provide free transportation to students who live one and one-half miles or more from the school to which they are assigned when adequate public transportation is available. Each high school has an area served by SMTD. Annual certification to the State Board of Education is required to waive this requirement.
