Transportation
Free busing is offered through Buffalo Public School District to eligible Buffalo United Charter School students. Eligible families must live at least 1.1 miles away from Buffalo United Charter School and be residents of the Buffalo Public School District. If you are a resident of another school district, you must register and request transportation through your respective local school district.
Families who don't qualify for busing are responsible for getting their children to and from school each day. If you need any help or have questions, we're here to support you! Use the contact us form below and we'll get back with you shortly.
