Notes of Decisions
Transportation for Special Education Students
School district boundaries are not determinative of a district’s obligation to meet a particular request for transportation as a related service. Clearly, where necessary to some integral part of the student’s special educational needs, a district must provide related services even where this imposes a substantial burden on the district. North Allegheny School District v. Parents, 687 A.2d 37 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1996); appeal denied 702 A.2d 1062 (Pa. 1997).
A school district is not obligated to provide transportation for a special education student to and from the residence of both the student’s father and mother when the father resides outside the boundaries of the district. North Allegheny School District v. Parents, 687 A.2d 37 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1996).
