Stop or Pay the Price!

  • State law requires all vehicles to stop for school buses when flashing lights are activated and stop arm is extended.

  • Drivers who violate the law face a $500.00 fine.

  • Drives can face criminal charges for passing a school bus on the right, passing when a child is outside of the bus, or injuring or killing a child.

Blue Earth Area School Buses have installed Stop Arm Cameras on their school buses, thanks to the grant we received from the State of MN / Office of Transportation.

FAQ

Transportation Opt-in

Beginning with the 2024-2025 school year, all Blue Earth Area School student's in grades K-12 will be required to opt-in (register) to receive transportation to and from school. This will help the transportation department create more efficient bus routes, ensuring students get to school in a safe and timely manner. 

If you would like your student(s) to receive transportation in the fall, you must complete the Transportation Opt-In Form. A form will need to be filled out for each child.

To verify that a child is eligible for transportation:

  • K-7 must live 1 mile or more from the Elementary School

  • 8-12 must live more than 2 miles from the High School

High Schoolers living within 1 mile of the Elementary school should walk to the school to connect with a bus to the High School.

Parents of Kindergarten students must be present at the bus stop location to receive their students from the bus, unless the student is being transported to a daycare.

**IF THIS FORM IS NOT COMPLETED, NO BUS TRANSPORTATION WILL BE SCHEDULED FOR YOUR STUDENT**
