PSD Introduces New Student Transportation Surcharge
In order to maintain existing student busing service levels, Parkland School Division’s Board of Trustees approved the implementation of a new $45 transportation surcharge for every transported student (with no family maximum amount) for the 2013-2014 school year. This surcharge was made necessary with the elimination of the Fuel Price Contingency Program by the Government of Alberta in the most recent provincial budget.
We appreciate that many of our stakeholders (including parents, our schools, and other school divisions that we serve) have questions regarding the introduction of the transportation surcharge for next school year. With that in mind, we have prepared a Q&A resource that is designed to answer some of the most common questions we expect to receive regarding the surcharge.
Please feel free to contact Parkland School Division's Transportation Department should you have any additional questions.
