Full Description

Stockton Unified School District traces its roots to 1852, making it one of California's oldest public school systems. Since its early beginnings, the District has grown from serving a small number of students in central Stockton to a large and diverse urban school system serving communities throughout the city. As Stockton expanded, so did the need to provide students with safe and equitable access to education. Transportation became an increasingly important part of that responsibility, connecting students to neighborhood schools, specialized programs, magnet schools, special education services, and secondary campuses across the District. SUSD's history of growth, changing attendance patterns, and the development of specialized educational programs has made student transportation an essential component of District operations. Today, transportation continues that long-standing mission by helping ensure students can safely and reliably access the educational opportunities available to them, regardless of where they live or the individual transportation needs they may have. In many ways, the Transportation Department represents the physical connection between Stockton's communities and its schools—supporting the District's commitment to providing every student with access to education, every school day.
