Foster Care Assistance

Foster Care Transportation

The SSPS will collaborate with the CWA to develop and implement clear written procedures governing how transportation is provided to maintain children in foster care in their schools of origin.  The district will also work with the CWA to reach an agreement in regards to covering the transportation costs.  The agreement will cover how the transportation will be provided, arranged, and funded for the duration of the child’s time in foster care.  Each agreement can/will vary greatly because the needs of each child should be considered in making the decision on transportation.  

The regular transportation policies approved by the Sand Springs Public School District will be followed in transporting foster care students.  Drivers will be appropriately licensed, certified, and with the required DMV and background checks. Various public school vehicles may be used to transport students depending on the circumstances. Students that must be transported out of state will be school board approved as required by Oklahoma law.
