Question 1

Who is eligible for busing?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, if a student’s resident school district provides busing for public school students then the student is eligible for busing to and from Saint John Vianney.  A student must live more than 2.5 miles, but less than 20 miles from your door to SJV, to be considered for transportation from your township. If the resident school district provides busing for public school students but does not provide busing to SJV, it might provide aide in lieu. See below for explanation. Students who qualify with these criteria are ELIGIBLE for busing. It does not mean they are GUARANTEED busing from their towns.

Question 2

Does SJV provide private busing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SJV has busing that currently runs through several areas where busing is not provided through the resident districts. The current charge for the 2026 - 2027 school year is $1,300 which is payable in two installments. The payment due dates for the next school year, 2026-2027  are July 6, 2026 and November 30,2026.Many of our privately bussed students receive aide in lieu if they live within 20 miles of SJV. This is paid from the resident school district usually in two installments during the school year.

Question 3

What is "aide in lieu"?

Accepted Answer

"Aide in lieu" is a payment made directly to the parent/guardian of a student who is eligible but not provided busing from their resident district. To receive this, you must live more than 2.5 miles but less than 20 miles from your door to Saint John Vianney High School. If you are unsure of this distance, we recommend that you use a map site such as Google and verify with your resident district.  In order to receive aide in lieu, if you are eligible, the following steps must be taken:Submit a B6T (Non-public School Transportation Application Form, which is done at registration time and every January for the next school year.Return the completed B7T verification form sent to you from your district. This form must be mailed back to your township (not SJV) by the deadline listed on the form.Your aide in lieu check will be mailed to you from your township after each semester is complete. The 2026 - 2027 aide in lieu payment is $1,300 paid in two (2) installments.  ** If your town does not provide busing for their public school then you might not be eligible for aide in lieu.

Question 4

When are bus routes available?

Accepted Answer

Bus routes are planned by your township after all B6T transportation forms (which you will fill out at registration time and then each January for the upcoming school year) are submitted by us. SJV sends the forms to townships for verification. Bus routes are designed and then put out to bid over the summer. You should know by early August if your district has secured busing for your area. Communication from your district will be passed along in various ways depending on the town either by phone call, email, letter, or website.
