Bus Transportation

Calumet School District 132 provides bus transportation for students who live in hazard zones.   All students that live west of I-57 are considered to be in a hazard zone.  Hazard routes are developed by determining the level of danger associated with a` child’s travel to school.  Railroad crossings and highways are major considerations when developing hazard routes.  The district does provide “shuttle” services between the three schools.  This allows a child to walk to the nearest school and shuttle to the school they attend.  Each bus has a monitor and the schedule is as follows.
