Transportation Reimbursement
TRANSPORTATION REIMBURSEMENT: This reimbursement is available only to parents whose students are in grades Kindergarten through 12th grade.
All claims for Transportation Reimbursement must be transmitted to the Illinois State Board of Education electronically by the school. If you have already applied and been approved for a Serious Safety Hazard, you still need to file a claim. Please read the enclosed information carefully before coming to school and entering your information.
The school computer will be available on all school days during school hours beginning today until dismissal on the last day of school (Friday, June 6, 2008) in the school office. We suggest that you do this as soon as possible so you do not forget.
Please have your computations completed BEFORE you come to fill out the form. They have raised the cost to $0.485 cents per mile. You can use Map Quest to find the distance from home and school. This is how the Illinois State Board of Education confirms the distance you drive from home to school. To compute mileage reimbursement when driving children to school, multiply the distance between home and school by four, then multiply the product by .485. This is the daily cost. Multiply the daily cost by 176 (the number of school days).
If you live less than 1 1/2 miles from school, you must have an approved safety hazard. Example of a family who lives 1 mile from school (with an approved safety hazard):
1 mi. (distance from home to school)
x 4 (1 mi. to & from twice daily)
4
x .485 per mile
$ 1.94
x 176 school days
$ 341.44 Total cost of driving your children
