As districts discuss what reopening schools will look like, you may be starting to plan for next year’s student transportation. While the CDC put out guidelines for school reopening and student transportation, it is up to each district to decide on their own social distancing measures. Proposals include staggered schedules, a hybrid learning model and a year-round school year, and these, along with potential budget cuts, could completely change how you plan for next year.

The [Back to School Transportation ](https://go.hopskipdrive.com/reopening-school-checklist)[Planning](http://go.hopskipdrive.com/e/598071/ecklist-Opportunities-2020-pdf/7mvr8/263804071?h=3NgHTU3qKeCMYArruhluisEI5vK9zK0kFHlT1QnM8x4)[ Checklist](http://go.hopskipdrive.com/e/598071/ecklist-Opportunities-2020-pdf/7mvr8/263804071?h=3NgHTU3qKeCMYArruhluisEI5vK9zK0kFHlT1QnM8x4) (free download!) will take you through all potential considerations — new schedules, influxes in certain populations, students that may need more care, and more. Feel free to send the worksheet along to colleagues!
