Fort Wayne Community Schools Transportation

A decline in funding is causing Fort Wayne Community Schools to enforce No Transportation Zones (NTZ) beginning in the 2015-16 school year. Students living within established proximities to schools as well as those attending a school other than their geographically assigned school will not be transported by FWCS bus. Students attending magnet schools and high school Programs of Study will continue to be transported by bus according to district guidelines.

This is not a change in FWCS policy. FWCS has been generous in making exceptions over time to accommodate families. The FWCS Board of School Trustees policy states that the following students are eligible for transportation:

• Elementary students residing beyond a 1-mile radius from the school they attend
• Middle school students residing beyond a 1.5-mile radius from the school they attend
• High school students residing beyond a 2-mile radius from the school they attend
