We have two transportation issues
1) The sight of the bus sometimes triggers a panic attack in Tigger and he cannot walk out to the bus until he calms down. This sometimes means that the bus needs to wait beyond the 3 minutes allowed. This was not a problem at his old school because he started at an "off" time but now that he is starting at a regular time, the driver can't wait because she'd be late picking up kids for the primary school.
2) They assigned him to come home on a bus with 7 junior high students. He is only a 4th grader. He would be on the bus about 15-20 minutes with these kids.
Right now, I am transporting him in the afternoons and I'm hoping he can meet the 3-minute wait limit in the mornings.
Can I bill the school for my transportation costs? More the point of it than the money. And can the IEP team designate that the bus must wait longer than the 3-minutes?
