Request for Transportation for Plainfield Residents

As per NJ DOE, the transportation of students to and from a charter school is the financial responsibility of the board of education of the school district in which the student resides. If the charter school is located in the resident district, students are transported in the same manner as regular public district students. For more information, click here.
