Thompson School District provides transportation for Kindergarten through 10th graders residing beyond the walk distances of:
- Elementary students who live over 1.5 miles from school
- Middle school students who live over 2.5 miles from school
- High school freshmen and sophomores who live over 3 miles from school
Only one-way busing is provided for kindergarten students. Some students residing within walk distances may be bussed if hazards exist. High school juniors and seniors are transported only in hardship cases.
Bus routes are arterialized and do not go into every subdivision or down every street. Where feasible, bus stops are located on main roads to reduce time and mileage it takes to run the route.
Transportation currently serves 47 regular routes and 23 Special Needs routes.
Video cameras may be used on school vehicles for the safety and security of students and staff.
