Delaware sets school transportation rules and requires some rides beyond district lines

The Department of Education makes transportation rules for students in public and nonprofit private schools. The rules cover students in Delaware public and nonprofit private elementary and secondary schools. Rules for nonprofit private schools must match those for public schools. The rules cover elementary and secondary schools, except where state law assigns the Department responsibility for students at other levels in a public school system.

The law requires rides beyond public school district lines when state or federal law requires them. This applies to students enrolled in nonprofit private schools in Delaware. The text names federal disability education and disability rights laws, as well as any other state or federal law, as grounds for required out-of-district rides.
