Marshall Middle School - Scripps Ranch Bus Program - Zoning Eligibility
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We hope this message finds you well. We are writing to
clarify the eligibility criteria for the SRBC program, particularly regarding
attendance boundaries and transportation policies.
Program Eligibility and Attendance Boundaries
The SRBC program adheres to the attendance boundaries
established by the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD). These boundaries
are determined based on geographic radius or census data, which means that even
some addresses within the 92131-zip code may fall outside the designated
attendance area for Marshall Middle School. We understand that this can be
confusing, and we are here to provide any clarification you may need.
Grandfathering Policy
It is important to note that grandfathering, which would
allow students outside the attendance boundaries to continue in the program, is
not permitted. This policy has always been in place, and while there may have
been some exceptions made in the past, we are committed to adhering to these
guidelines moving forward. This ensures fairness and integrity within our
program, prevents overcrowding and misdirection, and helps prevent our program from being in conflict with the District.
Transportation and SDUSD Policies
As the SRBC program utilizes SDUSD buses, we are obligated
to follow all related transportation policies. There is no ambiguity in these
rules, and compliance is essential for the smooth operation of our program.
Moving Forward
We recognize that not following these policies in the past
has led to challenges, including miscommunication. However, we are committed to
rectifying this and ensuring clear guidance for all families.
Contact Information
We are aware of the challenging and sensitive nature of
these changes. To avoid any misunderstandings or controversy, we kindly ask
that all inquiries be directed to our designated email address:
mmsbus@outlook.com. This will help us manage communications effectively and
provide accurate information to all concerned.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we
strive to maintain the highest standards for the SRBC program. Please feel free
to reach out to us via the MMS Bus email if you have any questions or need
further clarification.
Thank you,
Scripps Ranch Bus Committee
