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
