• Pre-kindergarten through grade 12 students with special needs or disabilities, regardless of the distance from home to school.
• All students enrolled in a Teenage Parent Program and the registered children of such students.
• Elementary age children who live within two miles of their assigned elementary school and who are subject to hazardous walking conditions as defined in Section 1006.23.
