Update from OSSE-DOT
Earlier this month OSSE-DOT posted on their website an important update about the stipend - they are accepting applications NOW and applications are now due MARCH 22. Below is more information from OSSE-DOT.
Monthly Parent Stipend Program
The Office of the State Superintendent of Education is launching a new program to provide a monthly payment to eligible parents or guardians who choose to opt out of OSSE-DOT provided vehicle or bus and self-transport their student to and from school daily. Here are some things to think about if you are considering applying -
Not all families who apply will be selected to participate.
Eligible families who are approved to participate in the program will receive $400 per month to provide transportation.
If you are selected to participate, OSSE-DOT will NOT provide transportation. instead, you will receive $400 per month to do it yourself. In this way, the program is like a voucher.
Families can only receive ONE stipend per household, even if multiple children are eligible.
AJE encourages families to apply as soon as possible to be considered for OSSE’s Monthly Parent Stipend. The deadline to apply is March 22 at 11:59 p.m.
Prior to April 1, OSSE will contact the parents who are selected to participate in this program.
OSSE-DOT has provided these documents (Parent Information, Required Documents) with additional information for families, we encourage families to review them closely.
