SAN DIEGO — The Sweetwater Union High School District says numerous bus routes to district high schools will be reduced starting in the 2019-20 school year.
The Transportation Department will be making a number of changes, including reducing a number of current routes provided. Specifically, these changes will impact Eastlake High, Olympian High, Otay Ranch High, and San Ysidro High.
The reductions will not impact buses or routes for Special Education or to middle schools, which will remain in place for the upcoming year.
These changes are being made due to several factors including:
1) the completion of Otay Mesa Road leading to San Ysidro High;
2) Bringing all high schools into alignment Administrative Regulation 3541 (approved in 2012) with the minimum distance – 3.5 miles - required for transportation services; and
3) these reductions assist in our budget planning for the 2019-20 school year.
Bus stops that will continue in the 2019-20 school year are identified as, “Remain” in the listing below. Bus stops that fall outside of the 3.5 mile regulation and will not continue in 2019-20 school year are identified as “Reduced.”
