BT6 Transportation Form

Dear YingHua Families,

In accordance with state law, N.J.S.A. 18A:39-1, all public elementary school students (grades K-8) who live more than two miles from their school and all public secondary school students (grades 9-12) who live more than two-and-a-half miles from their school are entitled to transportation. These students are said to live "remote from school." Whenever a school district is required to provide transportation to students attending regular public school programs, students attending nonpublic schools who meet those distance requirements may also be entitled to transportation services.

Parents are encouraged to download, complete and return an Application for Private School Transportation (BT6) form to YingHua no later than Monday, March 11th.

When parents submit the BT6 form, they are applying for transportation, not aid. The district's first obligation is to provide transportation for eligible students within the maximum expenditure. Parents receive aid-in-lieu of transportation (AIL) only if students are eligible for transportation and the district is unable to provide it for this amount. AIL is simply an alternate way of providing the transportation itself. 

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
David Friedrich
Head of School
