Is transport assistance available when school(s) are rationalised?
Pupils who attend the school(s) affected at the date of rationalisation will be granted transport assistance to the new school provided that the new school is over the statutory walking distance from their permanent home ie 2 miles for primary and 3 miles for secondary.
The Board may determine the school to which transport should be provided.
Transport assistance will continue to operate for pupils and their brothers and sisters transferring from a school being closed for the duration of their primary education.
