School Bus pass Renewal?

rolo1_2

Hi

My daughter is starting 2nd year(sorry year 9) in September and has had a bus pass for travel to-from school for the whole of year 8

Does anyone know if the seasonal school bus pass has to be reapplied for each year, or does she just automatically get a new bus pass at the commencement of year 9?

Your local education board will be able to tell you if you ring them

Thank you for your words of wisdom absoluteutopia!

Speaking to someone with sense in the Education board is not as straight forward as you may think. That is why I posted on here for first hand experience.

There is a department for travel in the education dept of your local council, they will tell you. I thought you had to re apply but its been 3 yrs since we needed a bus pass

My son's school issues them with their new bus pass in September. When your daughter recieved her pass last year, did you apply or did she recieve it through the school?

You need to apply again!

Sorted! We got hold of a very helpful woman in the NEELB who checked our dd on her system and was able to confirm that her pass is issued automatically. If we move house or change school then we would need to apply again.

Thanks to everyone who posted a reply :T
