Subject: RE: transportation for out-of-school programs
We have an after-school club with two different districts in the region. One district's club is with one school, while the other district's club is with two schools. We coordinated the programs with the districts beforehand. Part of the expectations were that we required the district to schedule, coordinate AND provide transportation to our center, any field trips and special activities. This includes after-school and Saturday activities. They use the school bus system, not a private company. While it has certainly been challenging for the museum's lead to communicate with the teachers, schools, parents and bus authority to ensure that everything will run smoothly, it is a small price to pay for us not being the ones to pick-up and drop-off the kids.

I'm working on a grant for an out-of-school program for middle school students and am running into a logistics nightmare with the transportation issue. How are other science centers or museums getting students from schools to their sites for after school programs and then home after? How about Saturday programs? Three of the schools we would like to include are magnet schools, so a percentage of those students are from all over the county. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks!
