Dear GLOBE community,
During April of this year, The GLOBE Academy took delivery of two propane powered school buses to serve GLOBE's new Transportation Ridership Program that will begin operating at the start of the 2024/25 school year.
Transportation Ridership Program
The Transportation Ridership Program provides morning and afternoon bus transportation between a satellite hub and the current Lower and Upper GLOBE campuses. The hub is located at the Exchange Recreation Center : 2771 Columbia Dr, Decatur, GA 30034.
Ridership Tiers (if a waitlist is necessary, each tier will hold its own waitlist)
Students receiving free or reduced lunch.
Students receiving sliding scale payment arrangement.
Full price paying students.
Cost
Students receiving free or reduced lunch will not be charged a ridership fee.
Sliding scale option is available for families that may not qualify for free or reduced lunch. Information is available here.
Full price ridership fee will be $75 per student per month.
