Section E – Special Considerations These may include, but are not limited to:

(1) Medical diagnosis and health needs consideration of whether or not long bus rides could affect a certain student’s health (duration, temperature control, need for services, health emergencies); general ability and/or strength to ambulate/wheel; approximate distance from school or the distance needed to walk or wheel oneself to the school; consideration of student needs in inclement weather, etc. NOTE: Transportation issues are addressed on the student’s IEP and may become a part of the student’s Health Plan if school health services are required on the bus. (2) Physical accessibility of curbs, sidewalks, streets, and public transportation systems. (3) The consideration of a student’s capacity to arrive at school on time, to avoid getting lost, to avoid dangerous traffic situations, and to avoid other potentially dangerous or exploitative situations on the way to and from school. (4) Behavioral Intervention Plans [Title 5, C.C.R. § 3001(g)] specified by a student’s IEP and consideration of how to implement such plans while a student is being transported.
