Isolation

To receive isolation reimbursement payments, you must:

1. Live more than two miles from the nearest bus stop.
2. Demonstrate to the school board that living in an isolated location is necessary for the family’s financial well-being.

If you meet this criteria, you can submit an application to the school board.  Once it is approved, you will be required to keep track of your mileage and turn in a mileage log provided by CCSD#1 to receive payment.

Isolation payments are determined by calculating the number of miles (minus 2 miles) from the end of your driveway to the nearest bus stop multiplied by 4 (morning to and from the bus stop and evening to and from the bus stop) to determine your total maximum allowable daily miles. When submitting your monthly mileage claims, only those allowable miles actually driven should be submitted (excluding days your child did not attend school or days only 1 trip was made to the bus stop). This value is then multiplied by the current federal mileage reimbursement rate to calculate the payment amount due. 

Monthly Maintenance Payments

If your child lives near the school during the school year instead of their primary residence, parents can receive reimbursement for reasonable living expenses.  The amount reimbursed can not exceed what would be paid in mileage if the child was to be driven to the nearest school bus.  Maintenance payment will only be paid while school is in session.
