Pupil Transport
What is it?
Every child has the right to appropriate education. In some cases, the distance to school is too great or the child is unable to travel to school independently due to a structural disability. The municipal council has adopted the Aalten Municipal Student Transport Funding Regulation for this purpose.
What to do.
To qualify, please contact the student transportation consultant. You will be sent the application forms.
The application form with the explanatory notes states what the municipality needs to review your application.
What does it cost?
The municipality of Aalten applies a financial threshold for transportation to primary schools and special primary schools (there is no personal contribution for special secondary education).
Parents of pupils attending a primary elementary school located further than 20 kilometers from the home are charged a contribution according to ability to pay. The amount of the contribution is adjusted annually.
How long does it take?
You will be notified by the municipality within 8 weeks whether you will receive pupil transportation.
Objecting
If you disagree with the municipality's decision, you can object within 6 weeks.
