Who designates the school bus stops within a district?

The district superintendent is responsible for designating school bus stops within a district. This role involves evaluating various factors such as student safety, location of schools, and traffic patterns to ensure that the selected stops are practical and safe for students. The superintendent typically has the authority to make these decisions and can coordinate with other district staff to implement policies that affect transportation services.

While the school principal may be involved in discussions regarding bus stops, particularly at their own school, the final authority lies with the superintendent. The local police department may provide input on safety concerns, but they do not have the authority to designate bus stops. The state governor's role is more related to broader legislative and administrative functions rather than the operational specifics of school district transportation.
