Extract from KCC PSV school transport bulletin;
To allow for a extended return of scholars, this year we are asking operators to apply an extended period of “grace” and enable any student to travel whilst they return and passes are distributed. Until Friday 17th September, operators are asked to permit any child to travel, regardless of whether they have a valid pass or letter, so long as they appear to be of eligible age. Children should be recorded against the appropriate scheme, and KCC commit to reimbursing operators as if the child were carrying a pass.
During this period, children without a pass should be reminded of the need to have one if wishing to travel from Monday 20th September. From Monday 20th September, children are expected to present a valid ticket or provide a fare for travel and can be refused access to the vehicle if they are unable to provide either but should not be left in a vulnerable position.
