FRCS’ Board of Trustees approved the school to move forward with transportation planning this spring for the 2013-14 school year.
“As the board navigates through the budget process, they will determine how many buses will be affordable and what the fees will be for the 2013-14 school year,” according to FRCS. “Once the board has determined the fees and granted final approval for the number of buses, the school will begin to register families on a first come, first served basis. Seats will be limited.”

FRCS said seats on the regional buses in 2013-14 will be “open and available to all FRCS families, current families and new families” but students must be accepted and enrolled prior to registering for transportation.
“Application for our Regional Transportation program will be available online,” FRCS said. “The start date and time that applications may be submitted and how to submit an application will be announced in future Weekly Friday Folder e-mail publications that go out to enrolled families, as well as on the transportation page of the school website. Please check the website frequently for updates, information and the online application form.”
