Andover High and middle school students and their families have through July 30 to register and pay a $300 fee to ride the bus to school and avoid a $50 late fee.
Fees will not increase from last year. Individual students pay $300 if they pay before July 30 and there is a cap of $600 per family.
New students moving into the district will not be charged a late fee, regardless of when they register to ride the bus. Elementary students are not charged to ride the school bus.
Transportation forms have been mailed home to all bus-riding students entering seventh through 12th grade. All bus-pass forms are also available at aps1.net (click on "parents" and "transportation" and follow the links on the left-hand side).
Reduced-cost and free bus transportation is available to low-income families who apply. Waiver applications are available at aps1.net.
Transportation Coordinator Mary Lu Walsh said her department hopes to receive all forms and payments by July 30.
Students who are not new to the district and who sign up to ride the bus after July 30 will be charged an additional $50.
