Jefferson City School District

1) Q: I am buying a home in the area. Who can tell me the attendance area for my new property?
A: To know the school your student will attend, please use the address look up tool. 


2) Q: I need to know what bus my child rides.

A: Please contact Student Transportation of America at (573) 402-1624.


3) Q: What are the distances that a student must live from his school of attendance in order to qualify for school bus service?

A: JC Schools provides bus service to all Elementary & Secondary School students (Grades Kindergarten through 12th grade) whose primary residence is 1 mile or more from the school they attend.


4) Q: How are distances from a student's residence to their school calculated to determine if they are eligible for bus service?

A: The District uses a very powerful computerized routing & scheduling software package specifically designed for school transportation systems called Versatrans. This software uses satellite and GPS technology to accurately calculate the most direct driving distance from a residence to the school that the particular student attends.

Once a student's address is entered into the system, Versatrans has the capability of locating a student anywhere in the District, calculating the distance from the home to the school, determining if the student is or is not eligible for bus service, and then automatically assigning the student to an existing bus route.
