•  Busing also has been available for students to limited educational programs at specific schools within PSD and to provide athletic opportunities to junior high students.

•  These programs include: International Baccalaureate (IB), English Language Learners (ELL), Core Knowledge, junior high math 9th grade, elementary math 6th grade, and junior high athletic shuttles for 9th graders to high schools.
