The Driven to Succeed Program is designed to ensure that transportation challenges do not prevent our young men from accessing their education. While this program provides critical support, it is also structured with clear guidelines, so students understand it is a privilege that must be earned and maintained.
How the Program Works
Eligibility:
Students must be in good standing with the school.
To qualify, students must maintain at least an 85% attendance rate.
Students must also have a clean discipline record.
Students With an Assigned Bus:
Eligible students may receive up to 3 rides per school year through the program.
These rides are intended to provide a safety net for students who occasionally miss their assigned bus.
Eligible Students Without an Assigned Bus:
Students waiting for their district bus assignment may receive up to 3 rides until their official bus route begins.
Once the student’s bus service starts, their ride opportunities reset, and they become eligible for the same 3-ride limit as all students with assigned buses.
*Students designated as walkers are generally not eligible for this program; however, exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis*
