Transportation
Welcome to the transportation department for Mid-Prairie Community School District. Mid-Prairie operates a fleet of 13 routes and 2 van routes throughout the school district providing transportation to approximately 540 students to and from home to one of our four schools.
The goal of the MP transportation department is to provide the students of this district with a safe, secure and efficient transportation program. This goal can only be achieved through the combined efforts of school, students, and parents. Involvement from all parties is critical to the success of the program.
The privilege of receiving transportation services is dependent upon meeting behavioral expectations. Transportation privileges can be suspended or revoked if these expectations are not met. The student’s knowledge of bus riding expectations is essential. These expectations are explained in school handbooks, on our website and during bus evacuations.
Please help us to encourage students to be a positive role model for their peers and others around them, by encouraging rules and behaviors:
