NDES students reside in Lake, Geauga, and Cuyahoga Counties. Therefore, we understand the importance of safe, convenient transportation options for our families.
Public Bus Transportation
Public School districts that provide round trip transportation at no additional cost to parents currently include: Berkshire, Cardinal, Chardon, Kenston, Kirtland, Mayfield, Mentor, Newbury, Riverside, West Geauga, and Willoughby-Eastlake.
NDCL-Provided Bus Transportation
As a service to our families, NDES offers bus transportation through NDCL for students who live in neighborhoods where busing is not provided by the local public school district. NDCL-provided bus transportation will serve those locations in Lake, Cuyahoga, and Geauga counties where the expressed need is greatest.
